I strongly suggest Eclipse newcomers to learn the shortcuts for important functions. And how to customize them (hint: type 'keys' in the quick access widget). From there, remap the function 'quick fix' and 'quick access' to physical keys of your keyboard. These are the 2 most important shortcuts you need. Then refactor the layout of your perspectives to your needs. Do not hesitate to remove any useless widget. (I like also to define shortcuts to quick access each perspective). These pieces of advice are also valid for IntelliJ. The strong idea behind this is that you must adapt the editor to your needs and habits. Not the opposite. (That's a tricky boring task, but veryyy handy in the long run).
