Overall Satisfaction with Eclipse
Since Eclipse is free and versatile to use with any kind of development environments, most developers in my organization prefer to use it as their main Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Java SE and EE projects.
- Main advantage is that it does not need any propitiatory license to use its full features. So using Eclipse is cost effective for any software development company.
- Eclipse is comprehensive to adapt most industrial technologies/frameworks without any hesitation.
- Eclipse has frequent upgrades. So the issues in the eclipse source are being rectified.
- Eclipse users may experience unexpected crashes due to various reasons.
- Compared to IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse is lack of user friendliness.
- Eclipse may be slow in operation when it has many background processes.
- Eclipse runs at no cost. So ROI in using Eclipse as an IDE is on its maximum.
- Eclipse includes many features which allows developers to manage/enhance the project source codes easily. So it impacts ROI positively.
- Developers may experience a slowness in development when they deal with bulky source codes on Eclipse IDE. In these cases, ROI might be affected negatively.
Main reason to use Eclipse is that it is open source product and it is having all the features that the developer needs. So it is not necessary to bear additional costs for IDEs.
