He proposes NetBeans over Emacs. I can understand this, if you want to write Java code (I prefer Eclipse [which of course has Emacs keybindings], but that is another issue).

But NetBeans for anything but Java? I don't think so.

"While NetBeans is open source, Gosling said almost nobody bothers to modify its code because of its complexity."

Isn't this terrible for an Open Source project? Emacs still has tons of commits by various developers. Is there at least a healthy community producing plugins for NetBeans?
