Overall Satisfaction with Eclipse

Previously we all used TestComplete and I found it very uncomfortable. In my previous job I used Eclipse as development environment, so I decided to try it on my current place. My manager had no objections. So, actually, I'm only person in the company who uses Eclipse. Since I do automation with open source framework, I found Eclipse very comfortable.
  • Easy to create projects.
  • Ability to integrate various add-ons and tools (like Selenium).
  • In fact, I'd prefer auto-update from version (of Eclipse) to version.
  • In my previous company, Eclipse was the main development tool for automated testing. Since it's free - zero investment, infinite return.
  • Zero investment - big return. At least I don't need to pay for TestComplete license.
Since I work in Java environment (selenium), for me it's perfect. Eclipse is development and debugging environment for me to create automated tests. It's not suitable (in my case) to make runs of big automation suites. Specific scenarios [it's well suited for are] development and debugging tests for Web UI testing. Or development and debugging APIs for interactions with embedded.
