I’m not a regular Eclipse user, I prefer IntelliJ IDEA, but I’ve been using Eclipse a bit lately while doing some GWT work (exploring MVP actually) to find out how the experience has changed since I last used it. Obviously it takes a while to get used to any new IDE and become familiar with all the keystrokes and ways of doing things. Even so, there are some things about Eclipse that are a bit odd. For example, say you want to create a new Java class. This is going to be a reasonably common operation, certainly more common than creating a new project. As the video shows the most discoverable method of doing this in Eclipse makes you go through many more steps than the equivalent IDEA operation, it’s just weird.
