Sweet Eclipse

  The problem with Eclipse is not just UI. It is a closed ecosystem that goes against source code and editing and towards visual tools. Ever tried copying a workspace to a different directory? Or opening a random text file from disk?

    What do you mean? Eclipse does all of those fine. I just now did a test. - Create text file - Drag and drop it on the Eclipse window - It opens It worked, what do you mean?

  You have ultra thin font weights on your site which is extremely difficult to read even to my, relatively, young eyes, and to add insult to injury, you’ve disabled sub-pixel antialiasing for these fonts! I don’t know if this is a new fad in the designer world to disable sub-pixel antialiasing but I’m seeing it everywhere and it needs to stop. OS X has had, and continues to have, superior font rendering capabilities much more advanced and better tuned than any other system. Regardless of how much “better” you think it looks, disabling sub-pixel antialiasing makes your super thin fonts impossible to read. As an experiment, on a retina Mac, try disabling it and see how much more legible your already super-thin font weights look. Having said that, I don’t think re-skinning of Eclipse promoted by a site with such poor legibility bodes well for the quality of the work.
