Yes, so much this.

My thoughts on Eclipse the entire time I used it was "why can't this be as fast and reliable as VB6?"

It is ridiculous.

In 2015, when I had to port something to Windows, I was so frustrated by the IDE speed that I was doing “make ; make test” outside instead - only using the ide when I needed the debugger. (I had makefiles from Linux, I would probably have been to lazy to create them if I didn’t)

I refuse to use the VB6 IDE that truncates characters from variable viewer.
