I don&#x27;t know how people use their ides, but I have had no problems with eclipse and feel plenty productive with it.
Writing java code in my case. It has autocomplete and that&#x27;s pretty much what I need... Great support with workspaces and multiple modules (I have about 50-100 &quot;projects&quot; in one workspace, and you can use filtered views also if needed).
An it has a faster more responsive UI and better fonts thanks to eclipse&#x27;s SWT, java&#x27;s UI-toolkit is sluggish and horrible fonts.
Also idea seemed to be indexing a whole lot of stuff the whole time... Eclipse just finds the stuff you need with no fuss indexing (it does indexing of course but it&#x27;s barely noticeable)
