Because it has amazing debugging functionalities that helps you to write well- tested and efficient reusable code. Ease of installation of Eclipse is very easy and has documentation which helps. It has great tools to work with XML and thus helps in creating schemas for various applications.
It's useful for debugging which helps to test the application before deploying to various environments. It is less appropriate when integrating it with 3rd party applications. The appearance looks little buggy and not many themes are available to be installed. The intellisense feature has not been improved and is not efficient.
