Care to give some examples how? For me, Eclipse has remained very stable. Maybe we are using them for different languages and/or things.
The stability wasn't as bad as the slowness. Also, OSGI seems to be a philosophy or cult. Things are just generally complex and bloated.

#27haproxy and redis are the two that come to mind. Not necessarily because they make me happy , but they never seem to make me angry or sad. Which with most infrastructure software is rare.

#28For me, probably dwm. I almost forget that I'm using it, but in a good way. It has merged with my muscle-memory and never, ever fails.

And my next thought was, you know what, you're right.

I recently tried some tiling window managers, but the problem with those was that none of them provided basic default configuration and you have to configure them from scratch. For example you have to add a plugin for small things such as a battery indicator. The custom themes were too much bloated for me. I ended up installing shellshape for gnome. Do you know any tiling window manager which solves this?
