I like Eclipse, but now that I know my way about, it's much easier to knock out a small Java problem on the command line than to fire up Eclipse, setup a project, etc. Then there's all the magical metadata and whatnot that can get screwed up. Much less mental overhead and less things to worry about on the Linux command line. Plus, I can do more with the commandline tools. I think students in general will be more versatile if they start with the command line, and then graduate to Eclipse. That way, they'll realize what they lose and gain in an IDE.
