That last pretty much sums up my feelings for Eclipse too.  I use it for
Java, C, Perl & Python - with varying degrees of appreciation - and
generally I like it, but (a) it's ugly, like every Java app; and (b) it's
slow, like every Java app.  This, even though, it uses it's own windowing
toolkit that is generally faster and cleaner than Java's.  Still, I keep
using it...
