You are not apologizing; you are rationalizing, and perhaps even trolling.  
Fallacy: Reductio ad absurdum.  "A fair amount" does not mean "everything".  
IIRC, the last discussion on this subject cannot have taken place more than 
six months ago.  And there are ways to find that discussion quickly (enough 
hints have been given), if you really want.

Few people know how Eclipse advances with each new version, that there is a 
new major release every year, and how to configure Eclipse so that it runs 
smoothly even with a number of plugins, although the basics are laid out in 
the ReadMe.

A single Eclipse crash wiping two days work is doubtful at best.  But if 
that really happened, you have bigger problems than Eclipse crashes.

You are not making sense.

That is why it serves code golfing.  But small code becoming a purpose in 
itself is a recipe for disaster.

When all you know is jQuery, every problem looks $(olvable).
