I've been using Eclipse for what seems like forever. But it feels like with each new release, Eclipse gets worse. More freezes, more crashes, more really weird behaviour, slower code completion. The fact that I still can't turn off retarded core plugins (like the horrible Git plugin) bugs me to no end. Every time I install a new version, I have to remember to go in and delete the Git plugin jars because it fucks up my workflow. I'll keep using it, because IntelliJ is almost as bad and has a GUI paradigm I can't get used to. But eventually that balance is going to shift. If Eclipse is suffering from a lack of man power, they might want to consider making it easier to contribute.
