Overall Satisfaction with Eclipse

Eclipse is used in my organization by me and by all the web developers that work here, except for one that prefers brackets. I am not sure about other departments using the same software, but I assume they use it as well. We use is basically to edit the code in the websites we manage, which are a section of the school of medicine.
  • Color coding, I love it.
  • The eclipse forums where you can ask for help.
  • The templates that come with it. Really helpful.
  • The start time when first initiated.
  • It's free, so you can save a lot with it
  • It covers many languages, so you can cover so many areas with just one program.
  • It multiplatform, so you can use it with any OS
Well, it's a free app so all the money you can save for your organization is always welcome. With Eclipse you can code in so many languages. Although we only use it for Javascript, PHP and HTML, but you can use it for many other projects in other languages such as Python, Java, VOB, C++, etc..
To edit pieces of code is really helpful because lame online editors are boring and they usually don't come with a debugger. It's nice as well for learning as you can start from scratch really easily, or use one of their cool templates. This saved me some money and so much time when starting a new project.
