E. I used it for 5 months before switching to IntelliJ. Code completion isn't worth using in Eclipse on large projects, it often took an entire second to show up. Partial building happens on every save, which seems like a nice idea, but on android it has to rebuild a substantial part on every deploy anyways, so it doesn't speed anything up. Often times the building would cause the UI to simply lock up. The debugger would often crash on breakpoints, windows would reset themselves and jump around, and when you modify files outside of eclipse, it would take multiple refreshes before it picked it up. Add that to no native support for color schemes (they're laggy at best with the Eclipse Color Theme plugin) and an insanely slow load time, and you wonder how this software has lasted so long. Switching to IntelliJ has not only made me significantly more productive (30% additional maybe?), but in general I feel less frustrated at work.
