Overall Satisfaction with Eclipse
We use Eclipse for writing java code and we have created an Eclipse plugin for our development as well. My day to day work is involved with Eclipse as I am a java developer. Developing code, starting servers and version controlling are very straightforward. Eclipse provides a lot of plugins to use. For example, we can use various plugins to detect code smells.
- Simple UI for development.
- A lot of plugins to use. (Unit testing plugins, code formatter plugins, etc)
- Eclipse is free.
- Very suited for managing large projects.
- Even though the UI is simple, Eclipse can work on its UI especially since beginners find it hard to find options and features.
- I feel like eclipse can optimize its performance.
- In my personal usage I am facing a lot of crashes when using multiple work spaces. I think eclipse can improve its memory management.
- Lots of plugins and there is a lot of online support to create our own plugin for eclipse.
- No cost to use.
- Multiple workspace support.
- It helps us in development.
- Easy to execute unit tests , code analyzers using plugins.
Eclipse is far better than NetBeans. But when compared to IntellijIdea Eclipse is a good choice when it comes to handling large projects and costs. Eclipse has room to improve on its UI and IntelliSense.
