Eclipse has no problem installing over a running app with the same name. I do it many times a day. The logcat issue exists but is not the fault of Eclipse but rather Google's plugin. But I agree, it is an annoyance. You can refresh the logcat file most of the time, btw, by going to the DDMS perspective and pulling down the menu in the Devices view and choosing Reset adb. It works maybe 4 times out of 5. The rest of the time you have to restart Eclipse. But at least the log reappears when you do that and it only takes about a minute to stop and restart Eclipse. Other than this one irritation, I have no complaints about Eclipse. I wonder what others find objectionable about it.
