Maybe its also because I do a lot of RCP development and always

do some WTP stuff for myself. And the easiest way for me was to
download a WTP Eclipse IDE. So maybe you can say that I could have
downloaded some features from the Kepler repo. But I wasnt sure what
was necessary so I downloaded a new IDE. (Felt strange, but worked)
So after that I thought, maybe I would preferred an IDE that can do
"everything java" aka "ultimate"...
You usage of the IDE seems to show that even if you know it's possible
to have everything in the same IDE, you prefered to download a second
IDE and have an IDE for RCP and an IDE for Web applications development.
Your use-case seems opposed to what you're advocating for, so I'm
curious: If you did not find the value of creating a "utilmate IDE" and
prefered multiple IDEs, why do you think a "Ultimate" IDE would be better.
Here is my story to advocate against a "Ultimate IDE": I used to have
much stuff in the same IDE for a few monthes, it contained my work stuff
(mainly RCP) and some entertainment stuff (WTP, JBoss Tools and Android
Dev Tools). My work tools and entertainment activities are not related
at all. One day, I got angry of having too much stuff in that IDE and I
spitted it because I used to get bugs coming from Android Tools when
doing some RCP work, and WTP was doing some extra validation which was
time consuming and because I was upset by many menus that are
irrelevant; and the other way round, I got a lot of irrelevant noise and
UI elements coming from PDE when doing to Web/Android development. Since
them, I'm much happier in both of these activity-centric IDEs.
