The problem with Eclipse is that the UI and UX are terrible, so it really doesn't matter what else it is good at.

Unless someone actually likes Eclipse or is already very familiar with it I cannot recommend it over IntelliJ.

No argument on the Eclipse UX being bad; that being said

I think it is safe to say UX is really important to you ;)

It is. There is no room in my toolbox for sluggish and cumbersome tools.
