This RefCard is fantastic.  Even as a long-time Eclipse user I learned some new tricks.  The best part about the RefCard is that it provides background information to help real developers make decisions about what version to use and how to set up their environment.  The stability tips also provide great information usable in the "real world"

Hi Dan,

I'm so glad to hear you find the Eclipse Refcard useful. The authors will be pleased to hear the feedback as well. Would you mind if we quoted you in our marketing (i.e. email blasts, on the Eclipse refcard page, etc.)? If it's okay with you, please email me at jill at dzone.com. Thanks again.

-- Jill
