I haven't kept track of OpenJDK development, but last time I tried (installing & using NetBeans mostly) it was definitely not as good as Sun's JDK. Graphics seemed rather crappy.
While on the subject, even with sun-java6 graphics aren't as good as on Windows; unless I explicitly switch to the Nimbus L&F. Drop-down menus for instance don't show as expected.
If the problem is manpower, wouldn't it be better to drop the mostly useless eclipse & netbeans packages in the repositories? Last time I checked these were either old (Eclipse) or poorly integrated (NetBeans) anyway.
