CentOS - Aug 2014 - don't use centos 7 as a developer workstation

Hi,
May be it's not clear to everyone.. so this's just a quick notice to
everyone.
Don't use CentOS 7 as a developer workstation since currently there is
not included any developer IDE. As eclipse was pulled out from the main
distro and put into Red Hat Developer Toolset (which is imho a good idea
not to use a 7 years old IDE). But Red Hat Developer Toolset is still
not supported on rhel7 this means currently you have to install eclipse
and all other packages from RHDT.
Anyway RH said it will be supported...

Regards.

And what makes you think that every developer wants to use a bloated IDE?
Your use case does not apply to everybody so please don't make such general
statements.

Why do you assume that, because your IDE of choice is not included, that 
you should send out a "PSA" style email to multiple CentOS mailing
lists?

Oh noes, are sed and gzip not included?

Most of the point of the developer toolset was to get reasonably
modern compiler-chain tools (C++ 11 support, etc.) and you get those
natively in RHEL/CentOS7 so you don't have to install 'all the
other'
packages.   Eclipse itself is relatively self-contained (like most
java applications) and capable of managing its own modules so packaged
versions are really a big win.

I'd expect it to show up here:
http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/devtoolset/#dts21  eventually - unless
CentOS picks it up. But it doesn't seem that important until the stock
versions are outdated.  If you took your own advice and backed out to
CentOS6.x, you might want to use these.
