I've stuck with Eclipse (or have been stuck with it) because of the massive ecosystem of associated tools. It takes a lot of effort to predictably develop and release those tools without various projects stepping on one another. So, being a couple of months late just comes along naturally as a byproduct of that which is keeping me with it in the first place.
