I can't believe they didn't list Eclipse's continuous build system.
That's the first feature I always miss when I'm forced to use VS.

I'm a big fan of Java (just check my post history in the
comp.lang.java.* groups), but I have to say this list is pretty misleading.
As much as I love advocating Java, I don't approve of many of the arguments
cited on this list. I mean, the "101st" reason is a self-referential "Java
is better than .NET because we were able to come up with a list of 101
reasons why Java is better than .NET." Sure, it's funny the first time
around, but it's not effective advocacy.
