Should Tim Bray Be Invited To A Dinner By David Berlind?
David Berlind of ZDNet placed a bet with Tim Bray in 2006. The bet was
almost forgotten, but I think it's good time to remind the world about it.
David Berlind asked the following question: "Is it time for NetBeans to
finally throw in the towel?"
Why revisit the question now? Because in a recent poll in David Berlind's
blog entry about mobile tools for Java NetBeans won by 69%. So it seems to
me that Tim Bray deserves to be invited to a dinner by David. Bon apetit,
Tim!

On May 16 the ZDNET-poll was manipulated by ... was it Sun Microsystems or
employees from Sun?
Blog created: May 14
Results:
May 15 Eclipse 52% NetBeans 48% 158 votes
May 16 Eclipse 30% NetBeans 70% 452 votes ( + 294 votes)
May 17 Eclipse 31% NetBeans 69% 569 votes ( + 117 votes)
May 18 Eclipse 31% NetBeans 69% 602 votes (+ 33 votes)
The ZDNET-poll was manipulated. Watch the numbers on May 16 2007 and compare
the numbers with those of May 15,17,18

Ian,
Except of course if you win! Hehehe. I agree, like beauty, these types
of things are very much in the eye of the beholder and prove little.
