- hundreds of plugins
If it needs that many plug-ins then something is very, very wrong. For
example, maybe some of those should be built-in. And if you meant "hundreds"
literally (but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're just
exaggerating since it definitely sounds like an exaggeration), then..."Wow,
that's just insane. What, does it need a separate plugin for each letter of
the alphabet it supports?".
To be fair, you've got a lot of what I perceive to be exaggerations in
your arguments as well.
And to throw my 2 cents in, what you say just doesn't jive with my
experience. Eclipse used to feel bloated and slow several years ago, but
I've not thought that about it for a while now. I have no problem typing
with background compilation going on, no issues with resource
consumption, or anything else you mention except a slow start-up time. I
use Eclipse frequently, on a 5-year old machine, for both C and Java.
I'd use it for D, too, if the plugins were in a better state. But I've
fallen in love with VisualD for that, so I may never go back. But when
it comes to Java, Eclipse has me spoiled.
