> Since this seems otherwise unrelated to the desktop Eclipse IDE, does anyone have positive feelings about the Eclipse brand?
I do.
It was used as the basis for code-sourcery, which was the foundation for many a vendors embedded toolkit.
More recently, I used it for ESP development, and I was absolutely floored that Eclipse is, in 2024, a lightweight and featureful alternative to VSCode.
My prior memories of Eclipse was that, once started, it would slow my machine to a crawl. Now it runs lighter than the most popular "modern" editors; after doing the ESP project, I noticed just how laggy VSCode is.
It could do with a few plugins, though. Copilot, and things like that.
