  Ugly Eclipse keeps pulling me away from shiny IntelliJ. I've been switching to Java from C# for the last year or so. At my company, the Java developers that I most admire use Eclipse. Coming from Visual Studio, the weirdest thing about Eclipse was having multiple projects loaded in the same Eclipse instance. But as I get used to it, switching back to IntelliJ confuses me. I get lost with the multiple instances.

    The huge advantage with using multiple projects at the same time is you can trivially factor out mutual pieces of code and include them as libraries. It's a really important thing for extremely integrated large projects that have big overarching goals. For instance the game I'm writing as a server and a client. The idea of the networking components are abstracted away from the server and client. They include a library all together that handles everything. They don't need their own implementations and I don't need to switch back and forth in the IDEs to get to the right projects, start them, compile the library project, and go back to each sub-project and include it. It's so much nicer when working on client-server architectures. That's why I love eclipse
