Eclipse is still a great option for Java. And I was pleasantly surprised at Devoxx last month when Oracle's Stuart Marks whipped out ye olde Netbeans for some live coding during a talk.

Dev tool monopolies are as bad as any other monopoly.

Honestly if Eclipse was the only option for writing code, I'd probably just find another job. I would probably choose Notepad and a terminal over Eclipse.

Care to elaborate as to why?
