For some strange reason, the entry isn't under "Aptana" and doesn't even say "Aptana" on it. It's under "Appcelerator." What the fuck is that? The Aptana website doesn't even slightly mention "Appcelerator!" (Oh wait, it shows up in the copyright notice in extremely tiny text at the very bottom of the page. Obviously that should have been my hint to look under "Appcelerator" to run the software I just freakin' installed.) It took me probably 45 seconds to find the goddamned thing in my Start menu.
It's also worth noting that however Aptana installs its Start menu folder, it somehow manages to break Windows 7's "new application" highlight, which would have compensated for their retarded folder name.
Yes that's something that has bothered me for ages, every since I first started using Windows. Why the hell do people think that using a Start menu entry with the name of the company who made the product is handy? With games I used to have this a lot. I would install a game, and then I would somehow have to look into 10 different Start menu enties (1 for each publisher, and then some) to see which of them published that particular game. And Electronic Arts was the best of them, I swear to God and Allah combined, they were just trolling the crap out of everyone. Each game used a different name, "Electronic Arts", "EA Games", "EA Sports", "EA Sports (c)tm", etc. Fuckity fuck man. That's one thing they can learn from Linux, just put it in a category, because that's what people understand. "Games", "Development", "Office", whatever. And if you need multiple entries, just put it in Games, My Little Pony, not Games, EA Sports, Fun Games For Kids, My Little Pony Productions, My Little Pony. But I guess they would still disagree on how to call it, and one would call it "Games", another "My Games", and yet another Entertainment, Games, etc. (that's how it went with save games, my Documents folder is littered with 6 different "standard" directories for save games).
Anyhow, it's pretty much a WTF you spent 45 seconds on finding it, since Windows Vista introduced this search box in the Start menu (which is also present in your screenshot). I actually rarely even go into All programs any more, especially since I now have an SSD, the results are just instant.

@blakeyrat said:Fucking Christ. Why does anybody use Eclipse? Why does anybody think
Eclipse is a good basis for their own IDE? What the fuck is wrong with
those people?
I use it all the time for Java. Seems to work pretty well as a java
IDE. I've seen some 3rd party extensions or whatever that are basically
an IDE for some 3rd party stuff that work pretty well with it, but I
haven't used them that much. I definitely haven't seen WTFs like this.
Sounds like Aptana has a ways to go. The git integration seems weird
if you're not using git for SCM. That seems like TRWTF.
I like Eclipse for Android development. :) It's not entirely too bad. I've noticed that most programs based on Eclipse are far worse than Eclipse itself though. On the other hand, I've recently started using IntelliJ IDEA for other Java development, so I might look into that for Android as well. But that's offtopic.
PS. I recall from some time ago that your tone used to be similar, but if anyone criticised you, you would smite them now... lately I've seen you apologise a lot, I think that's nice.
