Eclipse

I'm just not impressed with Eclipse (the IDE).

Specific complaints (on Ganymede):

  • I have to copy and cut everything twice for it to actually get into the clipboard
  • unlike IDEA specifically, and other applications, many common actions either don't have shortcuts or it doesn't tell me the shortcut in the menu (have to use the mouse for way to much)
  • errors in code which cause a servlet to fail to load in the Tomcat server/module kill the search functionality (Ctrl+f) in the main editor
  • I used to want 'camel case aware word skipping' (i.e., ctrl+arrow), but now that I've seen it (eclipse default), I prefer to not have it
  • accomplishing 'split pane' is tedious and very non-obvious
  • when auto-generating function stubs, it uses names like 'arg0', 'arg1', etc. for argument names; why not do like IntelliJ IDEA did 6 years ago and base the argument names of the class types?
