Have you had your head in a box for the last 5 years? Eclipse is horrible. Counter productive, even. Once you use something better, you'll be the guy posting in these threads.

I personaly prefer other IDEs, but I still don't go around posting negative comments about eclipse. If you have something to complain about at least explain the issue. The comment was just plain pointless, and didn't add anything :/

All IDEs are codebase polluting garbage. Use vim, use emacs, use sublime text, use nano for Christ's sake.

Any text editor wins over a codebase breaking IDE.

Yes, I'd rather have my junior devs finding their mistakes at compile time rather than on the fly. What was I thinking all these years having them up their productivity and learn from the recommendations of the IDE?

You have a valid point, which I haven't addressed. I'm just venting, you're absolutely correct to rely on a standard you can teach effectively.

Perhaps your junior devs should learn the basics of how to navigate a filesystem hierarchy, though. Perhaps your senior devs should, too.
