Back then, one of our developers refused to use Eclipse, cause he

certainly like to have Cmd-E functionality in Eclipse (and a
FindPanel which remembers what I typed into it), I prefer to simply
press F3 to go to the declaration of a method. Or Ctrl-Alt-H to
find from where its called. Or whatever...
Try selecting a word (even within a string) and press Cmd+k
I remember a full build used to take almost half an hour with
ProjectBuilder. In Eclipse, it took 4mins, and then, when do you
ever need to do a full build in Eclipse? It was quite common for a
developer to break the nightly build, cause she committed a low
level change which wouldn't compile in a dependant framework. Which
meant half an hour coffee break for everyone the next morning.
In Eclipse, everything is always built. No manual builts, no missed
compilation warnings, all dependencies magically taken care of. I
am now so used to this, I wonder how any IDE could be taken
seriously which doesn't provide that kind of build integration. Yet
at the time, it was revolutionary.
It's funny though how you still have to do a clean build in Eclipse
when things go wonky.
So revolutionary, that most in our team didn't understand it, and
stuck with their, ah, this is so ugly, its one huge window, it
doesn't do everything 120% as I'm used to do it, how can you stand
this thing, whining.
I wonder what will happen to me if I ever have to use Xcode again :-)
Xcode 3 did look like a nice improvement :-)
