Eclipse does allow you to change the background color.

As with others on the list, I go between CFEclipse and DW. Eclipse has
some nice plugins to allow you to modify your database without having to use
some other application (there probably is something like this in DW, but I
haven't gone searching). I do prefer searching in DW, it seems to have an
easier interface. I suppose if I did a lot of layout, DW would be easier
than there.
A drawback with Eclipse is that I can't change the background to black but
DW does allow for that, but I can get close enough (try it, it's easier on
the eyes). As for the large file size, I haven't had a problem with a 1700
line file, other than it's 1700 lines (only one of the thousands of reasons
this app is being rewritten)!

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Building my IDE Tool Box
It may be an issue with the plugin. If you want to test it out
though...just copy and paste some code into cfeclipse that makes a file
that's 2,500 lines of code and then go and try to add some code in the
middle of the page. You could type three lines of code and then watch it
come across the screen in Doogie Howser fashion 15-20 seconds later! It's
insane.

Damn dude... what kind of box are you on the Eclipse is a dog on
large files? I've never seen that behavior, but that's not using
CFEclipse, just the base Eclipse for Java projects... Could it be an
issue with the plugin?
