Overall Satisfaction with Eclipse
We use Eclipse for developing the software. The software is developed in JAVA with a usage of Spring, Hibernate and some other frameworks. As we can choose from 2 IDE products within our IT department, it can be used by whoever decides to use it. It addresses business problems connected with our software.

- Application server integration also helps to speed up development
Compared to IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse is free of charge and that is the main advantage for me. Over the time I got used to Eclipse, I didn't want to switch even though I could, because all I need is there and it works like a charm. Compared to NetBeans, I found the community of Eclipse much bigger and troubleshooting is much easier.
