| Huh?!? Eclipse is a shit IDE? What gave you that idea?
| Are you mentally challanged?

Now, now...

Eclipse breaks loads of usability ground rules and has only made my life miserable every time I needed it.
It really really really sucks in the usability department; dialogs use too technical terms; choices made can not be undone without restarting the project and SWT is just plain ugly under Linux.

I could probably write 50 bug-reports on the tool; but the project only seems to get worse usability wise so I'm pretty sure that won't help.

This post is just an overdone "mee-to" post; but the parent deserved that :)
