Not your day

Today, I attended a developer tool presentation by Sun. They offered free pizza, a talk about cool programs and a chance to win stuff, so me being there was a given. I'm afraid I have to say however, that it probably wasn't that speakers day today.
Sun wants to promote their [NetBeans->http://netbeans.org] developer environment, and so he started off by saying that one of the advantages of NetBeans over e.g. [Eclipse->http://eclipse.org] is that whereas Eclipse is just a combination of a whole bunch of sometimes slightly incompatible plugins and extensions, NetBeans was developed as one nice cohesive package. All right, allthough Eclipse's design has advantages, I can buy that argument. However, at that point he started to confuse me. He spent the next twenty minutes talking about NetBeans wonderful plugin architecture, and how everything in NetBeans, from top to bottom, really were just plugins. So he left me, and probably everyone else, wondering what exactly the advantage (or difference for that matter) was.
Also, way too many times during his demos, he got lost, confused himself, commited obvious errors, did things painfully slowly, and basically frustrated his whole audience. Now, well, I can understand that a person gets kindof nervous while having a presentation, but then that person should not have the role as evangelist. In the end I think most people were just sitting there waiting for the presentation to end as quickly and painlessly as possible. So I'm pretty sure today wasn't his day. Or as Markus put it, they didn't send the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Show this on a map.
