The pain of Eclipse's bloat is real, but the speed with which you can learn new libraries through its features is worth it. I won't come within 10 feet of Eclipse for anything but Java, but its so great it makes Java fun because I can effortlessly zoom through definitions in multiple layers of libraries and figure out what is going on faster than in any other language/IDE.

And I don't even like Java.
