Performance is the #1 issue for me with Eclipse.
I have used it on and off since the early days, and as hardware got faster, Eclipse... somehow has not. Its responsiveness on my 2011 Macbook Air SSD is truly shocking from the point of view of both UX and productivity.
I use it every day at the moment, and this is the only thing that I am constantly noticing.
The plugin compatibility thing can be a massive pain if you get bit by it too, of course, but doing plugins right is quite hard I think, and Eclipse isn't the only one failing there.
- albertzeyer 13y agoI often wondered why that is. I noticed it very noticeable too. I often thought that this is just because it is Java. And almost all other Java apps feel similarly sluggish. But then compare IntelliJ. It really feels very snappy. The startup time is not too long and then everything is extremely fast and responsive.
