erm.. Eclipse sucks. It can't even simply import existing source files into a project.. and it can't even manage to create a new project..
even from just opening the src file on it's own, it pales in comparison to netBeans.

Finally someone agrees. Everybody an uni here thinks Eclipse is the best thing since sliced bread. We are forced to use it for our assignments, since we have to email our tutors the project files. I _hate_ Eclipse. It's a pain in the buttcheaks, especially for Java. Why don't people understand that JBuilder is the besterestest??!!!!oneoneone

i dont like eclipse either. it takes 5 years to load on fedora core then it causes me lots of problems. ANGER, RAGE, KILL KILL KILL
no but really, it does not support far back control+z things so that is a big problem for me!. rember, it takes 5 years to load. then it takes like 24352465 megs of memory just to understand some logic insteat of going over the only and progressing with the new.

Off-topic: Problem with current IDE's

I think that most IDE's suffer this problem: They are not meant to be run on an ordinary computer but on a Pentium 9123 whatever.. And they eat lots of memory too.. Here is a list of IDE's i'm talking about: Eclipse, Netbeans, JBuilder, Zend Studio, Jdevelopper, .. Emacs is one of the few exceptions..
I know it may not be the most productive for others, but i still like (G)Vim.. Simply have to type :make or <F6> or <F7> to compile and run stuff... Code completion, macro's to generate getters/setters, ...

SciTE is an awesome light-weight IDE tbh, has compile/run functions etc.
Very customisable as well, but you have to edit the properties files rather than fancy wizards. (all in the name of reducing resource usage and can be done in window, it's a text editor remember :p)

I completely agree with everyone that Eclipse isn't that good. It's awesome that it's a all-in-one IDE with the use of plugins. I personally thought it was pretty awesome to switch between PHP, Java, C/C++ on the fly, BUT it is a resource hog. I'm running a Pentium 4, 3.06Ghz, 512MB and it's awful. It bogs my machine like crazy. I can barely have Eclipse and a browser open at the same time. I'm currently using PHP Designer 2005, netBeans, and Visual Studio 2005. PHP Designer isn't that great, but it gets the job done without hoging my resources and it's free.

I'd say Java because of the emerging & rapidly developing mobile market and all it's possibilities. But that's just me.
