RE: [Subclipse-users] Incorrect EclipseZone Post

IMO, should Subversive become Eclipse's default SVN plug-in, it may be more difficult for Subclipse to keep/increase its presence,
but it doesn't certainly mean that Subclipse would immediatelly be dead.
 
If Subclipse pleases a lot of people, they'll still look for it and use it. Maybe there'd be some effort on making Subclipse coexist
with another (default) SVN plug-in, but it would certainly still be an option.
 
Competition should never be feared, specially in the open source layer. In this layer, the end user is free to make his choice.
 
What I've been observing in the past few months in Subclipse and Subversive is that Subclipse's proposal is too tied to Subversion
itself while Subversive seems to be really interested in making the Subversion experience in Eclipse hassle-free.
 
Here are my reasons:
 
While I've seen many requests being shooed away on Subclipse because (1) Subversion doesn't implement it, or (2) CVS doesn't have
it, or (3) it's too difficult to be done or a combination of these, when the same requests are presented to Subclipse we get a
promise of implementation in about 1 week (not the delivery, but the answer : ) the delivery may take some more time, of course).
 
Subversive doesn't care if Subversion doesn't provide an API for this or that. They'll work their arses to workaround Subversion
limitations in prol of the end user. I have to say that this attitude pleases me more than the one I get from Subclipse.
 
Best regards,
    Felipe

The current event that Subversive has achieved is meaningless. It is still early in the process.

On a whole other note, does that mean that now that the subversive
proposal is approved, the subclipse proposal will not be approved? If
so, how will that impact subclipse if the svn team provider for
Eclipse will be subversive?
