All the 'serious-languages' flame war, misses the point of the writer! The point is this: Until we don't have 'productivity' tools such as Rational Rose, Linux as a platform will not be taken seriously by ISV's. When no ISV's take notice of Linux, then we will always end up using software's which merely play catch-up with their proprietory counterparts.
Eclipse is a great beginning, but we need more IDE's , UML-code generators, RAD tools, and a lot of Third-party (Ideally Open Sourced) components, upon which ISV's can build on.
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
