I subcontracted to a guy who was sold on the eiffel hype. I got an installed it to. I managed to crash the compiler in the first few minutes of use. The other guy ended up entirely distrusting the incremental compilation after losing a day or so to that. I don't remember any particular tooling, and the language was crap (Meyer was better at hype than language/compiler design). IIRC sather was eiffel with the subtyping holes fixed. Bertrand Meyer allowed holes in eiffel subtyping (which sather disallowed) which he (meyer) was sure he could deal with, but eventually they proved intractable IIRC. My boss eventually abandoned eiffel, and let the eiffel company know why. It was not an enjoyable experience for either me nor him.
