The survey has been going on for more than one week now and the trends are only enforcing themselves. Let’s summarize it:

Eclipse Modeling Package Survey

I’ve been quiet in the planet lately; it doesn’t mean I’ve been inactive — quite the contrary in fact. Just like all the other committers I’ve spent the last...
