That is my feeling as well. We support maven and don't force the IDE on our users.
Conversely, we shouldn't force IDE's on each other either. I use IJ due to historical reasons (10+ years of key bindings in my fingers) and am happy about the good maven integration that it provides. The IntelliJ strategy of making a maven project be just another way of describing a project so that there isn't any integration. So I feel like making eclipse play nice with maven as an itch that I don't have, but clearly others do. I am happy to go with the flow in terms of adapting to changes that others make to simplify life, but I don't have the background or time to make the changes myself.
