I don't think that's been my experience: I've never intended to "bash" Eclipse on the sole basis that I've not taken time to give it some overall evaluation.
For me, Eclipse eats tons of ram, the plugins I use usually break it (though this is really a problem with those plugins, it's definitely not a great thing that Eclipse ends up in an inconsistent state so easily), and I feel like my screenspace is completely wasted with it's thousands of panels. (Using an "eclipse fullscreen" plugin is completely necessary, in my opinion..) I don't want to say that Eclipse sucks for everyone: maybe it's just that I haven't taken the time to properly configure it for my needs. At the same time, I'm not advocating IntelliJ either. It's obvious that Eclipse has certain points that many people will find advantageous: lots of users, ADT emphasis, a mature development community. But at the same time, I come back again and again to Eclipse and try to reevaluate how it can fit into my workflow. I've consistently found that it doesn't work for my needs: it doesn't integrate with command line build tools (maybe I'm in the minority of people here), I consistently get a buggy enough experience that it forces me to restart it, etc... I actually have *tried* to use Eclipse multiple times, and the metaannoynces of Eclipse crashing before my knees for some strange reason has forced me asking why I even use it? I can live without it. (FYI I have used Eclipse for some other projects, and it's worked fine, but my experiences with respect to Android have not been pleasant..)
