My issue has never been with the features of eclipse.. they're awesome. My issue is that they just don't work. Running CDT along side regular Java along side Android ADT is just broken. I am constantly getting combinations of:
"weird behavior" (dialogs not containing default values, false-positive errors in config dialogs, failure to locate referenced libraries, failure to index referenced libraries for code complete), visible errors (Alert dialogs reporting that an "error occurred" with a "details" section that simply says "NullPointerException", eclipse Error Logs with literally hundreds of errors usually NPEs, and UI controls simply ceasing to work.. that is, panels that fail to load and just display a blank screen or windows that simply don't display), and of course complete crashes at LEAST once per day. I'm not saying it's easy.. quite the opposite. I'm sure building an IDE to do all this is immensely difficult but that shouldn't mean we just lower our expectations to accomodate should it? I love all the features of eclipse and I too make extensive use or type hierarchy views, refactoring etc etc but I wonder how much I'd be willing to give up for the sake of stability. Actually I know how much... a lot. I recently had to disable "Build Automatically" because it would cause unrecoverable crashes when ADT tried to create a JAR file. So I had to manually build every time I wanted to see a change. It was a bit of a pain but FAR less than the pain of having to restart every hour or so. I've now been using Intellij (Community Edition) for about 3 hours so it's too early to tell definitively but so far all the features I want are there (with the exception of C++ support) so we'll see if it lives up to its reputation from a stability/speed perspective.
