The big headline is: NetBeans Community Approves NetBeans 6.7 for Prime Time Release
After I seeing the results (
http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/cat/67/ca_results.html), I was wondering if this is the headline is for another survey ...
The results for the most important features are shocking! Nearly every 1/10 thinks that NetBeans isn't ready for prime time:
Editor Improvements: 10,4%
Performance Improvements: 9,7%
Overall Quality: 10,4%
And what about the rest? It's notable that the rest is better regarding the show stopper, but instead 40-50% don't use the feature.
I would interpret the survey that the new release isn't what the user wanted. They got features which they don't use and the already existing features aren't the quality they expected.
Please NetBeans team don't lie to yourself and to the readers, the survey is mixed at best, but doesn't clearly speak for NetBeans 6.7. If my post is too harsh, I am sorry. But this kind of marketing is more MS style, and I really don't like it.
