I hate software lock-in.

So I have a computer. This computer has my files on. I'm happy with my
files for they are on a file system where multiple programs can act
upon them. That way if I change a file, say, or delete it, then it's
deleted. That's it. VOOM. etc.

So I try Eclipse [which is an IDE apparently], and lo and behold it
"import files" somewhere else and wants to be the only program in
charge of holding a copy of them somewhere. Why oh why? I mean, I know
some iApps do this but this is a source file which I might want to
edit / move / run in something other than Eclipse dammit.

They're my files. Don't steal them! Leon
