I think they're fine. I've used Eclipse plenty of times in the past and while it's not my IDE of choice on other development platforms, it's not a bad IDE by any means. I've grown to appreciate the Android emulator as well. The one area I think Android tools are lacking is in the UI design space. I posted the question on my own site ( http://www.androidsdkforum.com/android-sdk-tools-utilities/4-tools-building-user-interfaces.html) looking for some suggestions to nice tools as Droid Draw is the best I've discovered to this point.
