I ran across this site today that I found amusing. It seems as though Yahoo has a way to track the relative Buzz of Java ides. Based on what I've seeing right now Netbeans is generating the biggest buzz. Here is an explanation of Yahoo's "Tech Buzz Game"


The Tech Buzz Game is a product of Yahoo! Research and O'Reilly Media. The marketplace
software is powered by
Newsfutures. Buzz scores are powered by Yahoo! Search technology and Yahoo! Search Web
Services. The buzz scoring methodology was originally developed
for the Yahoo! Buzz Index, which
tracks web search spikes and trends.

O'Reilly Media designed the Buzz Game's ontology based on the
landscape of technologies, products, and companies that O'Reilly has
on its radar. The markets and
stocks reflect O'Reilly's picks of important, emerging, intriguing,
and disruptive forces in the technology world.
Anyway, I always wonder what IDEs are being used most and how much buzz surrounds each. Now I know and apparently so do you.
