JSF needs better tools

In general, I don't like the fact that JSF is designed for tools vendors. However, after seeing a Visual Studio .NET 2005 demo - I can understand why that's Sun's motivation. Visual Studio is *very* cool and seems to greatly simplify ASP.NET development. That's why it's disturbing to see Why do JSF tools suck so bad?.

If the JSF Tools are going to suck (compared to Visual Studio), why don't we just make it more developer-friendly (instead of being so tools-friendly)? Of course, the better solution is to make the tools better, but that doesn't seem to be happening. Maybe we should just try to get Visual Studio to support JSF. ;-)

The Color Schemer Gallery

I've been using Color Schemer for a couple of years now. As a result, I'm signed up for their mailing list. Today they announced a cool new feature on their site:

Sample color scheme from the GalleryColor Schemer Gallery is a brand new online community where Color Schemer users can share and manage color schemes created with Color Schemer.

Now finding the perfect color scheme is as easy as browsing the Color Schemer Gallery!

» Show me more color schemes!

You have to purchase Color Schemer Studio in order to import these locally, but I'd say it's worth $50 if you're color-matching challenged.
