A comment on The fall of Eclipse.

    All that said, Eclipse JDT remained a solid IDE for pure Java development and the go-to choice for students and open source projects looking for a free IDE.

    This was killed by the launch of Intellij Community Edition.
Not in my experience. The majority of students at my university still seems to be using Eclipse.

I would suspect this is only because they don't know any better. There is very little defendable reason for suffering with Eclipse for basic Java work when IntelliJ is free.
