Netbeans is indeed better. Used it on some mid-size PHP projects and liked its neat UI and responsiveness. Nowadays I'm a happy IntelliJ user, but hope Netbeans will stay alive. It's definitely one of the better tools around and deserves a place under the shiny sun.

Oh yes, I absolutely loved the tinkering with Delphi and Kylix before I was a professional programmer. I remember Borland distributed Delphi6 for free for personal use and I had a lot of fun with it.

In the end I landed a job as a web developer, worked in PSPad and left Delphi forgotten until the day — a decade or so later after I used Delphi the last time — I opened Eclipse the first time in my life. Never hated a tool, my profession and the IT industry more than at that moment… Why take the compilation so much time? Why are the fonts so ugly? Why does this tool needs more time at startup than the good old Delphi 6 on my 800 Mhz PC ten years ago? And why nobody seems to care about it?

Ok, I will check the store tomorrow for the update. In the meantime I'll try to cultivate a habit of getting up early in the morning. ;)

Congratulations on shipping. I've bought it as an expression of sympathy — I'm building apps in my freetime too, but they were too complex even for a two man show… so I've never shipped anything. :)

What I would like to see in your app are high res icons. They look pixelated on my 5s.
