Those millions of users are waiting for you to ask them what they want. It’s exactly the
same Emilian did with yameter.com a few days after the release:
https://twitter.com/emilianbold/status/916775452714336256
Should NetBeans support Apache Spark? Tomcat? The Go programming language? R? Whatever? Just
find a big pool of developers and ask them what to do next, what they need, what they want.
There’s no Oracle direction now (or if there’s then it’s just a direction, not all direction),
nobody is deciding what the future will be. So the NetBeans CEO (CEOs) must start asking customers
what they want.
Hint: Apache has a big pool of developers.
Hint 2: Ernie’s vi emulator should be included in NetBeans 9.

There’re no Oracle deadlines now. So the NetBeans Governance (or whatever is called, why
am I asking this? Not clear enough?) should set a roadmap ASAP and start blogging about it
in the net. Many users will appreciate a public roadmap. It gives us a sense of confidence
on what to expect.
And if this roadmap is decided by the NetBeans Governance _and_ the users, the better.
In fact a lack of roadmap can be seen as a competitive advantage, a blank sheet for users
deciding the NetBeans future.
