The problem wasn't Eclipse - it was Google's plugins that were buggy. I hated the transition over to Android Studio. Eclipse's Java core is by far the best of all Java IDEs: refactoring, auto-complete, editing, etc. IntelliJ had earlier support for Maven and Gradle, but it was always a less-polished IDE experience using Swing vs Eclipse's native windowing toolkit.
