I dropped Eclipse a long time ago in favor of other IDEs. I like Eclipse a lot, it was my IDE of choice. I just got tired of all the plugins, the general sluggishness I felt using it, the oddities with it when it came to Maven support (sometimes having to completely close Eclipse / Relaunch for a maven build to work right).
I had other oddities as well, such as totally biffing my SVN solution a time or two because of files getting locked that shouldn't have been locked.
In the end I moved to IntelliJ and it's been wonderful. Been a bit different getting used to the keymapping, but overall it's been a good experience I have not looked back.
