It's where I spend 95% of my time, so even if that were the only thing
better in Eclipse than in VS.NET, that's still a massive item.

As it happens, there are plenty of other things too :)

nice article. as to the code editor - i totally agree with you. it's the
place where i do spend most of my time. but as i said the one shipped
with VS2k5 is a bit batter than the previous one. What i always hated
about the Eclipse was the speed... or rather the lack of it :) it's so
damn slow. It's great but it's like using #Develop IDE - it's nice when
it comes to the editor thing but in a long run... well you just waste
some precious time waiting for this thing to move on :)

It's funny - it seems that some people have a problem and others don't.
For me, Eclipse has always been as fast as Visual Studio - faster, when
you take into account the lack of compile time. The one thing I *do*
tweak is the memory settings, to give the JVM plenty of memory -
perhaps you were experiencing a lot of GC activity?
