Memegraphs for Java IDEs

I have discovered by coincidence this page:

http://realmeme.com/miner/java.php?startup=/miner/gartner.png

The author of the page is measuring how much are people discussing various technologies using so called memegraphs, it seems to be his invention. He's actually creating graphs of how much a particular topic is discussed on the internet during time. He also measured the number of posts for Java IDEs. While this doesn't seem to be a very scientific approach, the graphs are interesting. They in my opinion just represent how much are people talking about a technology - they do not have to represent the quality of the product or it's other parameters.

Here is the graph for NetBeans vs. Eclipse:

While Eclipse is doing very well (congrats!), we should mention that it has probably gone through the inflection point. That makes me wonder if it the graph will continue the same way as drawn on the ugly theoretical picture:

Also, it would be interesting to know how the graphs are doing after 4.0 and now that 4.1 will be out. It seems to me, that people are now talking and writing more about NetBeans than before. Take a look for instance at this page which contains blog posts about NetBeans:

That's it for my Tuesday's speculations. Back to real work.
