      Eclipse 15 years ago was OK. Decent Debugger, useful Plugins (like WindowBuilder). It had issues, but instead of focusing on those they over time just kept piling crap on top of it.

      Willingly is a strong word. More of a “this shitbox is the only thing I know how to use well”. It’s been my first window into programming. And at the time my uncle used it for work. So he taught me how to get around the mess.

      Also I’m quite sure Eclipse played a big role in why I despise Java with every atom of my being.

      I’ve tired switching to VSCode. But my peewee brain doesn’t process how to use it. It tries to default to the way I use Eclipse. I’ve started managing to rattle off some programs with micro+clang. That seems to be the easiest way out for me. Considering I don’t program for a living.

      I feel like an accountant refusing to let go of it’s MS-DOS based software ffs.
