- jtbigwoo 13y agoSome of us are basically forced to use Eclipse at work, unfortunately, especially those of us whose companies have chosen IBM server software.
- mindcrime 13y agoFamiliarity, lack of pain, not convinced the alternatives are sufficiently better to justify the learning curve, etc. In short, Eclipse mostly works for what I do, and while it frustrates me at times, there isn't enough pain there to motivate me to throw away the investment I've made in learning to use, configure, and customize Eclipse - for an alternative which may or may not even be better. Also, Intellij didn't always have the Open Source version, and I generally avoid using any software that isn't F/OSS. So for the longest time, my only real options for a Java based IDE were Eclipse or Netbeans. I played with Netbeans a little here and there, but never found it compelling. shrug
- johnyzee 13y agoThere are lots of things Eclipse does better than IntelliJ (and the other way too of course). It's mostly little things here or there (Quick Fix for example, SVN integration seems a lot better too). I sit around IntelliJ guys so I tend to compare whenever something annoys me in Eclipse or when doing pair programming.
