You would be amused to know that NetBeans has become my primary development environment since I started working with Ruby and Ruby on Rails approximately two years ago. I just downloaded the Php version and it looks surprisingly good. I used to be a dedicated Eclipse user even when I was at Systinet before Mercury acquired us. But when I started looking for an IDE to work with Ruby and Ruby on Rails, there was nothing even close to NetBeans in Eclipse environment. I think that NetBeans has staged a strong comeback recently since Sun got some very bright engineers working on it. Anyway, I am a bit disappointed that I did not get a chance to work closely with you while at Systinet. You DO have a very rare and deep understanding of markets and courage to pursue your beliefs and that is what sets you apart. Best of luck with GoodData and look me up when you are in Boston. Regards, Bharat Hello Roman,

You do rightly mention "the limits of speed" as the pain point. describing this in detail would help readers. IDE downloads is a classic example of marketing technology products to tech community. Your case would be great supplement to Hal Varian's "Internet Ecconomics" book and Venkataraman;s papers on "Platform strategy". Hal describes the strategy to catch up with established players is four stages: offering free, experience, enshirement (build complementary products that could be licensed) and lock-in. I can only surmise the reason SUN allowed IBM to catch up, they were always focussing on hardware and software was never their forte. For more of the issue of core rigidity, read resource based theory papers Interesting case study.
