Eclipse user here.
I use it on a daily basis and there are things I really like about it:
- debugger (and everything about it, like hot code swapping, etc)
- run configurations (setting multiple run configs for one project happens!)
- views: I mean i use only "java" and "debug". they could be faster but i don't mind, you don't switch them often.
- workspaces are ok too, when it comes to organizing your projects in groups. It's ok, really.
What i hate:
- performance. for example the typical problem (i think it is a bug) when you switch between java and xml editor and you wait like 5 sec.
- workspaces that resets everything. wokspaces should group projects, not the user preferences. Dear eclipse, it's still the same person opening them!
- why the hell i have to spend 2h configuring eclipse after downloading a new version? does not svn/git/maven a default requirement for java development today?
- search. i never remember which tab out of 6 and what setting will allow me to just do grep in the project folder.
- the toolbar - please remove all this crap. I will only use those 3 run buttons and switch perspective anyway.

- stygiansonic 13y agoFor the performance issue, either update to the latest version of Eclipse or downgrade to 3.8: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/eclipse3x.html http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/eclipse3x.html Juno has been plagued with performance problems and so I downgraded to 3.8 and it's back to normal. (I.E. no atrocious delay in switching from Java to XML editors)
- robinst 13y ago> - search. i never remember which tab out of 6 and what setting will allow me to just do grep in the project folder. Just disable all the other tabs by pressing "Customize..." in the search dialog and only selecting "File Search". Or in the upcoming Eclipse 4.3, there is now an option to always show the last used page, see here: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/S-4.3M6-201303141330/news/#use-last-page-option http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/S-4.3M6...

The "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" comes with support for Git and Maven nowadays – no SVN, is there anyone still using it? ;): http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/junosr2 http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-d...
