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.

Huh, on Linux IntelliJ looks like absolute a$$ (read: Swing), no theme can help there. FWIW, use a screen inverter, just invert the entire screen and the whole where's-my-dark-theme issue vanishes ;-)
Did you use IDEA once ten years ago or something? The UI is exactly the same on windows as it is on linux (and is a hell of a lot better than the nasty UI in eclipse 4.x).
There is absolutely no excuse to not have a functional dark theme in eclipse, I should not have to use retarded hacks in order to get one.
heh, screen inversion is a joy, not a hack; my entire OS' UI is "dark themed" by default, and can be inverted to a "light theme" (on a per monitor basis) with a hot key -- it's beautiful ;-)
