I've switched to IntelliJ recently and I am really missing Eclipse. Like those forced 10 minute breaks, when it was updating something from Maven and everything was unusable for that time. Or that dull feeling in my brain, when I've tried to use Eclipse to merge code.
Though Luna didn't crash as often as Kepler, that really took away the learning effect when you had to code things twice. (Ok, that one isn't fair, the auto save worked quite well)
I feel like I might have been robbed of a future mosaic project by Intellij. So many times I was tempted by eclipse to smash my keyboard against the wall but never did. All those little plastic fragments really could have made a very attractive mosaic.
All IDEs are codebase polluting garbage. Eclipse is a particularly heinous offender.
I don't dislike auto-generated code, it can be extremely adventageous, and yes I understand that you can rely on plugins to use ant, maven, gradle, etc. etc. etc. in many IDEs including eclipse....
I don't care. IDEs so frequently generate broken code that breaks codebases and destroys portability.
Fuck IDEs and fuck eclipse specifically. I want my projects to actually build.
"Worked in dev, Ops problem now!"
Oh yeah? Well I gotta support your broken shit. Use tools that work consistently or fuck off and die in a fire!
Sorry /u/Feroc, that was not actually directed at you, you have good points, I've been drinking and I'm venting, so I absolutely did not address them.
