I dunno; my experience with Eclipse is pretty underwhelming -- lots of
flashy widgets, and no doubt some powerful functions, but completely
infuriating to use.  It seems to require that you buy into an entire
style of programming in order to use it at all (as opposed to Emacs,
which is "just" a text-editor, "just" a debugger interface, and "just" a
build invoker).

That is, Emacs just works with what you already have (or doesn't work
with it -- but if you were to extend Emacs to do so, you'd make Emacs
use existing tools), but Eclipse seems to say "change the way you work
to suit the development tools."
