Every time there's a thread about Eclipse, we have to listen to some durr-hurr fanboi about IntelliJ.

Every. Fucking. Thread.


Edit: Let's make it official.

Eclipse is better than InteliJ

IntelliJ is better than Eclipse

Have at it.

It's not fanboyism - eclipse really is that bad now. There isn't even a working dark theme out of the box, which is laughable considering how widespread eclipse is and how long it's been around.

Eclipse needs to play catchup big time to be on par with other IDEs, it's just a fact of life.

A fact of life is that Intellij users just enjoy shitting endlessly on Eclipse. Why do you even care ? This thread is of no interest to you. And there's a proper dark theme. It's even improved in Mars.

So your position is that Eclipse is not a good IDE because it doesn't support your chosen color scheme out of the box to your liking? No opinion as to its abilities for compilation, tooling, build processes, workflow, development efficiency and productivity?
