Oh my god, this comment gave me flashbacks to when I was writing android apps in Eclipse + ADT

shudders does anyone pine for eclipes?

I haven't used it in a decade, Im sure it has has evolved

There was a time that Eclipse was my preferred editor. It was free and it gave cool sexy features that all the cool kids who could afford Visual Studio had, and it worked on Linux!

Nowadays I'm basically a Neovim purist, but I have positive memories of it. I'm kind of afraid to revisit it at this point, though, since everyone hates on it and I suspect I wouldn't like it as much.

My job replaced eclipse with VSCode for Java+Spring development.

Can’t say I miss eclipse, but a lot of the VSCode extensions seems to utilize old legacy eclipse stuff and has the bugs to match.

Did you consider IntelliJ, even just the community edition?

If not you really should. IntelliJ with Java is one of the best dev experiences I've ever had. I'm a VSCode fan for most other things but for Java I wouldn't even remotely consider using it over IntelliJ if I had the option :-)

Your are still running Eclipse, Red-Hat and Microsoft run it headless.

It is not old.

Likewise Oracle VSCode version runs Netbeans headless.

Certainly do.

It's still horrendous.

And Eclipse Foundation maintains VSCode-compatible editor designed to be a framework for other IDEs: https://theia-ide.org/

IMO sounds like natural foundation for Cursor

Funny thing about Theia is that it is based on the only thing MS made themselves - Monaco editor.
