Hey, if you feel like paying for Eclipse, you totally can :) That because, Eclipse is a basis for IBM's commercial IDEs such as "Rational Application Developer", "Rational Software Architect", etc. IIRC, some of these go for $5,000+ a pop. So, anyways, Eclipse is not built by some random open source enthusiasts, it is mostly built by IBM employees.
