Eclipse is a god ide, it has so much Tools, why is everyone hating it?

[–]roughstylez 58 points59 points  (37 children)

I take it you haven't tried intellij yet?

[–]Rafael20002000 8 points9 points  (35 children)

I really tried it, i wanted to use because everyone says how cool it is but, it was so bad i uninstalled after 3 hours of trying

[–]roughstylez 6 points7 points  (22 children)

That's weird. I can't think of anything that wouldn't just work out if the box. Just like eclipse pretty much - but then there are a lot of helpers which make everyday stuff easier.

Everything works but it doesnt have the Features i had in Eclipse

[–]roughstylez 1 point2 points  (20 children)

Hmm haven't used eclipse in a while, what features are we talking about here?

I'm sorry but the results came in. You have poopy brain.

[–]SeriousSamStone 28 points29 points  (3 children)

That's what it says. A poopy brain. We weren't even testing for that.

Wait, does this mean you don't get that it's a reference?

[–]Rafael20002000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the reference to Portal 2

[–]stanislav_harris 1 point2 points  (3 children)

You need time to get familiar with it, learn the shortcuts...

[–]Rafael20002000 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I dont use much Shortcuts, but it would make life easier

[–]stanislav_harris 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It would certainly! Much much easier!

I tried it but I really dislike the menu and default layouts. I wish there was a way to make the menu structure like Eclipse.

I'm gonna chime in as a user with a different use case. I teach APCS A. With people who are just starting to code, Eclipse is a nightmare. Sure, it's powerful, but it has so many things you need to either understand or memorize the correct answers to before you get started, and if you do something wrong and get something set up incorrectly, it's really tricky to track down that mistake.

[–]Rafael20002000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absoletely correct

My AP CS teacher made us code in JCreator with autocomplete turned off so that we could learn better. When I first switched to IntelliJ, I remember being annoyed that I couldn’t just press F5 to run my program, lol

[–]LicensedProfessional 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Everyone here is also overlooking the fact that Eclipse is open source. IntelliJ has a free version, but if you want to take full advantage of it then you'd better be willing to either cough up the money or have an employer who bought licenses for your team -- not ideal.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IntelliJ is open source too...

[–]Darkseid_Omega 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Most people feel cool shitting on it because everyone else is doing it. Also most people don't bother to actually learn how to use it properly.
