I wish I could have every eclipse naysayer sit by me and pair program. I've never had an IDE that I can burn through code so efficiently in every way. In fact, they do have UX experts working on it. It's gotten very good, but like any big IDE, you need to know lots of details to make use of that. It comes with years of experience. Just keep trying, ask questions and you'll get better with it.
