There's a lot of "it depends" in that, but I will say this. I'm a heavy user of Eclipse, and by and large I like it just fine, and it has run mostly OK on every computer I've used it on since about 2001 (or whenever it launched). But the one big annoyance I've always had with it was the startup time. And maybe a side order of "uses RAM aggressively enough that I don't usually want to run more than maybe two instances." Now I don't know if it's purely down to hardware, or if JVM improvements are also a big factor, but the last new computer I bought (a System76 laptop, that I got maybe not quite two years ago now) is powerful enough that Eclipse launches in a couple of seconds, and I can routinely have 7 or 8 instances running with no problem. The machine in question has all nvme and/or ssd drives, and has 64GB of RAM. yeah, I splurged a little bit when I bought it. And in hindsight, I couldn't be happier. You can never be too young, too good looking, or have too much RAM.
