I feel like people upvoted this because it said don't use eclipse but didn't read the article. Now I'm questioning my sanity - given a choice, do professional developers choose to use eclipse?

The question is somewhat loaded given the previous statement based on my own biases but I've never written java professionally so excuse my ignorance.

Most java devs use intellij. But the eclipse language server powers the vs-code plugin for java. It's quite good and it's what I use personally.

Totally makes sense as a plugin - I love vscode for both golang and javascript. The IDE itself seems clunky but I'm not against IDEs themselves.

Eclipse seems to have carved out a popular niche in the field of embedded C and C++. (JetBrains, please take note.)
