Fallacy: Reductio ad absurdum. "A fair amount" does not mean "everything". IIRC, the last discussion on this subject cannot have taken place more than six months ago. And there are ways to find that discussion quickly (enough hints have been given), if you really want. > I use IntelliJ I *don't* use Eclipse - the last time I did it crashed > wiping an entire two days work Few people know how Eclipse advances with each new version, that there is a new major release every year, and how to configure Eclipse so that it runs smoothly even with a number of plugins, although the basics are laid out in the ReadMe. A single Eclipse crash wiping two days work is doubtful at best. But if that really happened, you have bigger problems than Eclipse crashes. > Just cause you don't use it doesn't mean to say its doesn't exist. You are not making sense. > I don't like the pattern either but the codes smaller That is why it serves code golfing. But small code becoming a purpose in itself is a recipe for disaster. -- When all you know is jQuery, every problem looks $(olvable).
