Quotation by Mike Milinkovic

I think Eclipse is a platform for innovation and in no way stifles innovation. And I think that is part of the original vision for Eclipse. From the beginning, Eclipse was about making a common open source platform that solves problems people have been solving repeatedly in proprietary commercial implementations. By creating an open source and open implementation of the previously commercial, proprietary implementations, it allows people to go and innovate and solve interesting problems instead of building yet another text editor or yet another code browser.
