The Afae editor plugin really only exists to satisfy my own needs so I am not that concerned with how many people use it. But, in the immortal words of Will Turner a craftsman is always pleased to hear his work is appreciated.
I did a quick look around today to see if Afae seems to be at all interesting to people, and it seems like it is at least slightly interesting.
The editor part of Afae has been downloaded 3502 times – that doesn’t mean that that many people use it though. Those are stats on the nightly downloads so there are probably quite a few repeat offenders in there. But it’s safe to say there are at least 6 people are using Afae :).
The uptake of the other plugins are still respectable, but far smaller:
The blogger plugin is the newest plugin, but it seems slow on the uptake.
On Eclipse Plugin Central Afae is still listed on the 3 month Top Rated list ( to my surprise, slightly beating out CFEclipse in that category :-o ):
If you are one of those six people using Afae, I am working towards doing a 1.0 release (mostly because I need to branch the code to add code folding and some other deeply rooted changes). Right now, these are the only items before 1.0. If you have any bugs or suggestions for 1.0 please let me know (new features, if you want to suggest some, will go into 2.0 unless there is a must have).
By the way, I did a quick test with Afae in 3.3M5 and it seems to work fine.
