Barney are the first people to say that Eclipse is slow on that platform.
On windows, I find that Eclipse is slow to start, but that's probably
because of the number of plugins I'm using as much as anything else.
Once it's up and running it's as fast as I need it to be. Bearing in mind
that I ditched Dreamweaver almost entirely because it was too slow, that
should be an indication that it doesn't go too badly.
That being said, it isn't as fast as notepad, but I wouldn't want to write
code all day in Notepad, so I guess that's one of the trade-offs.
Being able to add features to the IDE as and when I need them is also a very
big draw for me. Anyone else who fancies a crack at adding what they want is
more than welcome to give it a go. If your code doesn't interfere with stuff
we've already done, or have planned we'll make every effort to integrate it
and give full credit where it's due.
