I've tried to like Eclipse a few times over the years. What kills it for me is (paraphrasing a bug report ISTR) "We don't support rectangular selection and probably never will."

That's not true. Alt-Cmd+A toggles block selection on macs. Not sure what the keybinding is on windows.

  Sounds like they added the feature then. Does paste of a block selection work correctly too?

    It does, yes. A general tip to find features like this: Press Ctrl+3 (Cmd+3 on Mac OS X) or type in the "quick access" search bar in newer Eclipse versions. It shows the command and the shortcut. Also useful for toggling "Show Whitespace Characters" without needing to have the button in the toolbar, jumping to a preference page, etc.
