Use of eclipse is highly correlated with people that use editors as if they are notepad.

Yea I use Eclipse exactly like a text editor that has project management features, refactoring support, formatting, automated imports and class completion, dependency management, compiling and packaging.

That is I and most Eclipse users use Eclipse as an IDE. Not as vim/emacs.

Because Eclipse is not an advanced text editor and more of a weird platform experiment. Every time I have to leave emacs(or vi) for a defaulted Eclipse I get wrist pain (how ironic).
