you just beautifully summarised why i still use Eclipse today :-)

Once you get used to it, instant incremental compile >> everything else ...

Same here, much prefer Eclipse to IntelliJ. Super fast and provides instant feedback on everything you do with the incremental compilation. And the workspace is amazingly powerful as a concept.

I used to bash Eclipse (Netbeans fanboy :) ), then IntelliJ came into the picture without Javadoc completion out of the box (fixed nowdays), required explicit invocation of inspections, ten finger chords, no incremental compilation, no support for JNI development, indexing non stop,... and I re-learned how great Eclipse actually happens to be.

Incredible how often you hear the same about MSVC++6 or one of the Delphi's, up to 7.
