In the end of the day, developers spends most of their days in the IDE, so having a good environment is essential. If one is not satisfied with the working tools, it could lead to many frustrations and huge dissatisfaction.
You need to "get over" yourself, and accept that people care what work tools they use.
Exactly. That's why, if Eclipse is not making you happy, you should move to something that does. I've changed IDEs many, many times before and use different IDEs for different things: I prefer Eclipse for J2EE work and Android, but nothing used to beat NetBeans for J2ME. Many PHP'ers around me love NetBeans for PHP and I'm going to give it a try (we do a lot of PHP around here). I also used PyDev+Eclipse (after Eric) for Python stuff, but moved to Emacs a couple years ago and I like it a lot.
