Before cider there was Brightly. My recollection was that it was developed by a team in Atlanta and got cancelled before it reached general availability. People were pissed at the time (ex. "cancelling brightly considered harmful"). That died down when Cider delivered on what Brightly had promised.

The days of using Eclipse were particularly bleak. These days I use Antigravity for the overwhelming majority of my work.
