I am using eclipse. My main complaints are:

1. slow start up time.

2. refuses to reformat until I have all the syntax errors corrected.
But I need the reformatting to help me find the errors..

3. Error messages are extremely confusing. Pretty well all they do is
point you to roughly where the problem is. The actual wordings are
deliberately as obscure as possible.


Nice things:

1. global rename. change a class or method name, and everything in the
universe is fixed not just the Java source, not just the project you
are working on. All the clients get fixed too. It is so quick you
have no excuse not to implement a better or more consistent name if
you can think of it.

2. organise imports. Adds missing imports, tosses unnecessary ones.

3. reorder, add definition of variables and methods right beside
where I am working and then sort it later to where it belongs,

4. the instant recompile catches errors right away. It takes some
getting use to, but it is sort of like a typing tutor to teach you to
get it right first time with the instant feedback.

5. tree structured navigation makes it much easier to find anything
across a sea of projects.
