Christopher, Yes it is true that "Life's too short to use Eclipse" :-) But I am really a lover of this platform, to be honest. I first worked on the eclipse platform when I did my internship at IBM, here I found really talented people who taught me how to program with the platform API, since then, I really loved it. The way it is build, their philosophy, their high quality API and IP policy, the fact that since 2004 they never missed a single date release, make me think it is a great and mature project. In short, I trust them and I believe in them.
Lot of people told me that IDEA was far better in term of maven integration but I didn't gave it a try. I have all I want in Eclipse: git connector is fabulous, debugger as well, Remote System Explorer which allows me to connect through ssh/sftp within my IDE to remote/prod servers, JUnit and FlexUnit are integrated, I have my task list directly taken from JIRA in a panel right into my editor, I can have a look at the build server thanks to the Mylyn Jenkins/Hudson connector, download the produced artifact and so on... The only thing I really miss is a m2e connector that auto-configure my project, and frankly when I reuse the com.adobe.flexbuilder.project component, all the business work is already done. What I just have to do is the wiring, so its really a "connector". I believe in it because of its nature, it will be really easy to maintain: the code base is really small. The only thing I didn't figured out is how to handle the multiple product line / release (FB4, FB4.5, FB4.6, FB4.7). Architecturally, I can use Adapter pattern, conceptually, I need to investigate if the OSGi model can deal with multiple version of a same component resolved at run-time: I think the answer is yes?
