Like I wrote,  I already have a better IDE ( Visual Slickedit ) than 
Eclipse.


I am learning Eclipse because it is defacto "industry standard" and I 
think knowing it well could help me fit in at different shops.  Many 
tutorials on the web are also videos or screenshots of eclipse, so I see 
value in myself becoming personally familiar with it.


I've read a lot of people recommending IntelliJ.   I might just try it 
out someday, but I doubt if I would use it.   It is about $200 for a 
personal license.

I've been using Visual Slickedit for about 14 years, paying $300 each 
time I get a new version.   If I completely migrate to another IDE, my 
bias would toward one that is free or much lower in cost.   That is a 
big If.  IntelliJ is written in Java, which will make it slower than 
Visual Slickedit, which I believe is written in C and compiled.   Visual 
Slickedit boots fast enough to use it as a text editor for quick notes. 
   IntelliJ would have to have several MUST HAVE features that VSE does 
not.  The VSE company is always soliciting suggestions to keep up so it 
probably wouldn't be long before VSE had it too.

All of which is my excessively verbose way of saying that I don't need a 
better IDE, I'm learning Eclipse to fit in better as a Java programmer 
and since IntelliJ is expensive it would have eons better than Slickedit 
for me to migrate to it.
