I wonder how many of them have used Eclipse for long enough to get used
to it. It took me a while to get used to VS.NET, and I like it more
than I did to start with. I still miss incremental compilation,
intellisense that can display more than one overload at a time,
compile-on-save, the Eclipse project system, refactoring, contextual
diffs, organise imports, a decent source-safe plug-in (ironically!)...
