"Eclipse: a powerful versatile IDE"
What do you like best about Eclipse?

Eclipse is mostly used IDE. I have preferred it among other IDEs because of its flexibility and extensive plugin ecosystem. It supports multiple programming languages; I used it mainly for java and c++. The features like code completion, debugging tools and a customisable interface made me a fan of eclipse. It helped me and my team to streamline the coding process and enhanced the productivity a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Eclipse?

One issue I have noticed is it can be resource-heavy and sometimes slow to start, especially with multiple plugins. The UI is overwhelming for beginners., which anyway becomes a positive with experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and reliable IDE with strong developer tools"
What do you like best about Eclipse?

What I like most about Eclipse is how flexible and powerful it is as an IDE. I primarily use it for Java development, and the built-in tools like code suggestions, refactoring options, and the debugger make my workflow a lot smoother. I also really like that it's open-source and has tons of plugins available, so I can customize it to suit the way I work. The Git integration is another big plus it saves me from having to switch between tools. When it comes to support, the Eclipse ecosystem relies heavily on its active community forums and mailing lists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Eclipse?

Not many but some of the disadvantages of eclipse are startup time( takes a bit longer as compared to other ids) and the interface can also feel dated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable IDE for Java and Automation Projects"
What do you like best about Eclipse?

Eclipse is one of the best free IDEs for Java development. I like that it comes with a huge variety of plugins like Maven, Git, and Selenium support, which make it very flexible for automation and enterprise projects. The debugging tools, code completion, and refactoring options save me a lot of time. Since it’s open-source, there’s also a large community and plenty of resources whenever I get stuck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Eclipse?

Eclipse can feel quite heavy at times, especially when working with multiple projects or plugins—it slows down and takes longer to start compared to other IDEs. The user interface looks a bit outdated, and setting up plugins can sometimes be confusing or cause performance issues. It’s powerful, but not always the most beginner-friendly tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
