Eclipsing Eclipse

We will present a compelling case which will argue that the
VisualWorks 7 IDE may very well eclipse Eclipse, a Java IDE which is
the basis for IBM's Websphere Application Builder, in a number of
areas.

The argument will be based on the following comparison points:

Extensibility
Refactoring
Support for XP
Immediacy
Ease of use
Responsiveness
Community support

The presentation will include review of the Refactory Browser, Sunit
integration , the new StarBrowser and its powerful classifications
and other conveniences.

Come join the discussion.

Our meetings are opened to the general public. Invite a friend !

"MAY VERY WELL"?????

You sound mighty sure of yourself.

I recommend you change your ad copy to something a bit more definite.

Our announcements are not just advertised in comp.lang.smalltalk but
also in other non-Smalltalk forums. Our yahoo group list has a very
significant percentage of non-Smalltalkers i.e. of the yet to be
convinced. So my problem is that I don't want to sound too{*filter*}y and
possibly turn people off since my foremost goal is to get people in
the door i.e. and let them, once there, make up their own minds.

When I first posted this meeting at the beginning of the month my
wording was more to your liking i.e. definitely more "definite".
However, being definite also provoked some "comments" then. It is just
hard to please everybody.

So how about this:

"For those that think that Eclipse is the ultimate IDE stop by and
check out our evaluation of the VisualWorks 7 IDE, I am sure with a
confidence level of 99.5% that just about everybody will be amazed."

There you go, highly confident yet not too confrontational :)
