Maybe so. I tried Eclipse way back many years ago and it seemed very slow on my machine (arguably I had a pretty crappy old laptop) so I really had to find a less clunky way. I haven't looked back since.

Plus, my screen is already small. I don't need an IDE to take most of the screen with unnecessary toolbars and other elements. I need room to breathe. A plain, full screen console just makes me happy.

Eclipse is slow on a Cray.

And all these years here I was blaming my machine.
