When I first started looking at Android development, Eclipse's plugin system was so buggy it put me off Android development for a year or so.

Eclipse has gotten a little better than how it used to be. I initially used it when doing Android programming. I eventually weened myself off it. The main reason was it was just too slow. Another reason is it has dozens if not hundreds of shortcuts, which I always seemed to be inadvertently tripping over. I would go from programming to undoing whatever change had just been inadvertently made, which sometimes was not easy. There are shortcut disable features, but then you face the array of option menus to deal with that.

It was bad enough that I now just use ant, emacs, adb and the like to do everything. I have not launched Eclipse for months. The last thing left was getting the IDE to automatically stick in imports of packages used in the code, but some tweaking of emacs and JDEE have enough of that functionality so that my one remaining reason to use Eclipse is gone.
