Re: RDi 9.6 is now available!!!

That's why I believe that RDi vs VS is a personal preference. I feel exactly the opposite, RDi has a much better UX and is more intuitive. I've been using VS longer, so it's not just that RDi is more familiar.

Side note, some of my fellow Microsoft Developers have to re-install Visual Studio maybe in 3-10 months...

While on IBM RDI 9.5.1.2, I only had to re-install it because I was playing around with plug-ins. And I realized I had screw it up. So, I decided to do the 20-minute re-install. That time the New work space trick did not work. But, I was playing around, and did something out of the "ordinary"...

Or all, I like Visual Studio, a much better user-experience and more intuitive navigation...

I also like that RDI allows me to filter by a find string. Visual studio cannot do that...

The BIGGEST thing that bothers me about ECLIPSE, and I cannot zoom-in and out of text size. I wish the tool bar had "+"/"-" to increase/decrease the font...

While on Visual studio, and many other IDE, you can zoom in/out with your MOUSE WHEEL....

And my co-workers might be running many different virtual boxes, and other high end stuff. But, still takes them approximate 90-Minutes to reload Visual Studio.

We use Softlanding/Turnover for our change Management, and it is Normally, VERY RELIABLE! <Joy Joy>

PS. Tons of people have already complained about RDI/Eclipse not having a simple Zoom In/OUT feature... I think an RFE is out there already.... Still DREAMING about that one...
