What is the main reason for upgrading to Eclipse Juno? [closed]

Question

Sorry if this is a strange question. But I've been using Indigo for a long time, and after upgrading to Juno I find that the UI is less responsive, has bizarre new colors (thankfully they included a Classic theme) and not a single new feature that I can see, anyway. They changed the default redo shortcut from ctrl-y to ctrl-shift-z, even though ctrl-y is a de-facto standard for that type of shortcut. Seems like a lot of changes for change's sake.

Frankly I am somewhat underwhelmed by this release. I'm not deliberately trying to be negative here, I guess I just haven't seen the light yet :-)

Does anyone have a success story where Juno was just the thing they needed to solve some specific problem or shortcoming of Indigo?

Answer 1

Not really a success story here...

I downgraded to 3.7 again because the performance of 4.2 is really bad. I didnt't tweak anything in eclipse.ini in either version, but 3.7 runs A LOT smoother with the same (quite big) workspace.

I was looking forward to "Code Recommenders" plugin, but deinstalled it after a few hours. It was kinda annoying, perhaps you have to use it a longer time to get used to it.

Xtext 2.3 is important for me, but I can have that in Indigo too.

The new layout is ugly, but thats just my opinion. Other people seem to like it... But apart from the looks, it was really slow and laggy for me when resizing or moving views.

There were some other minor bugs, perhaps my fault, no idea, but in the end I'm happy again with 3.7 :-)
