Dear Eclipse Detractor, Please make a more reasonable and detailed critique. Sincerely, Someone who prefers Eclipse over IntelliJ (strongly, I cannot STAND IntelliJ), Textmate, Atom, Sublime Text 3, Vim, Emacs, and NetBeans. (EDIT: davnicwil, your reply to me disappeared. Was it deleted? I appreciated the discussion and had written a reply.)

I feel the opposite way about the IntelliJ/Eclipse (strongly prefer IntelliJ over Eclipse). I stopped using Eclipse at, I believe, Juno or Kepler (4.2/4.3) and switched to IntelliJ 13. I found that Eclipse very frequently just plain froze while doing an operation, was laggy, and crashed frequently. There was also very long startup times. I haven't used Eclipse in a few versions, but when I made the switch I was extremely thankful that I did. What makes you prefer Eclipse? Or, rather, what makes you dislike IntelliJ?

  My exact feeling, I have left eclipse a long time ago, recently (around a year ago) I tried luna and it was still incredibly slow, crashed a lot, for no reason my classes wouldn't hot-swap making me restart the entire webapp (with a heavy startup time) and had to rebuild the workspace because for unknown reasons since everything just stopped working. Not to mention that the eclipse auto-complete is just useless when compared with intellij.

  Someone else replied but deleted their reply, I had mine written up but they deleted their post before I could post. Here it is: > You're right in that a large degree of my preference owes itself to familiarity bordering on second nature – I gave IntelliJ another shot recently, and I didn't feel right adapting to it. Autocomplete was typically the very first keystroke I changed - to escape - so it was never frustrating to me. I'm also fond of an old plugin that generates class builders, which made creating immutable POJOs with autogenerated constructors/hash/equals/toString super fast and easy. > Thanks for your reply!

    IntelliJ can auto generate all that, although not through a. Single keystroke.
