Definitely. Unusable software is as bad as none at all. Unless someone is paying well, I'm not going to deal with the issues.

Umm... Just don't use it. No one is forcing you to. Some of us are happy to have it, even if it does have some quirks.

Well, if you have a choice, sure. But if you're working in a team where everyone uses Eclipse, it's really nice to have the ability to run Eclipse.

Eclipse should be fine since it's using their own SWT for the GUI. They're not using Swing.

Iv'e developed Swing for 10 years and I think it's basically botched. Sun had no clue about UI development, and Sing is the expression of that. Compared with the UI frameworks on OS X it's like night and day. But I digress - I think SWT is a much better approach in any case.
