Oh, I know exactly how you feel. I had a double dose of that 6 months ago, when I had to switch to OSX as my daily development system, and I had to learn IntelliJ IDEA and it's shortcuts. I'm still finding my way, but getting better. 30 plus years of using a PC and 20+ years of using Delphi/Lazarus development tools is a hard habit to kick. ;-) > other reasons why once in a while I might be forced to use Eclipse (or > one of its derivatives) and it is just a bloated, slow as molasses carp... I've heard many say that, but I have not experienced that (maybe older versions from many years ago had that issue). On my desktop PC, which is now 6 years old (Intel i7 system), it starts faster than the latest Delphi does. And while working in it, I experience no performance issues at all. My work MacBook Pro is a lot newer and faster than my desktop, and it definitely doesn't have any performance issues with Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA. The latter does require more memory, and the fact that if you want to work with multiple projects, you need multiple instances of IntelliJ is not ideal (that's where Eclipse workspaces work very well - though I do close the projects I don't need open).
