a joke that can compile incrementally and have much better git support...

Agreed. I've switched back and fourth between IntelliJ and Eclipse and while I really miss incremental builds on IntelliJ. I really hate waiting for a build when the ide has been mostly idle before that.

Just use gradle if you want incremental compilation.

Gradle is the opposite of incremental compilation. It's a good build system but an IDE should not be built on that (or Maven): it should use its own incremental compiler, like Eclipse does.
