Exactly. Eclipse is quite notorious for succeeding in things i would
have never dreamed possible (there is so much magic in Eclipse, that
I am convinced I will never be able to work with any other IDE
again), while completely failing in the most trivial of categories.
Yeah I've always found this to be strange, too.
The FindPanel is so unusable that everytime I want to find/replace
something, I copy the entire file into SubEtha.
What part of FindPanel is unusable, out of curiosity? I hate how it
handles the mapping between your current selection and the thing to
find -- it always seems to reset incorrectly. Find-in-project also
has totally obnoxious selection and focus rules (it always ends up
doing a "Search Entire Workspace" the second time I search because
focus was lost from package explorer).
The CVS Synchronization view flags normal and completely harmless
concurrent modifications (= the C in CVS) as red conflicts and I
still haven't figured out how I am supposed to fix the REAL
conflicts in the Compare view (I'm using CVL and FileMerge for that).
This is not a pain I've felt -- I might be able to actually explain
this workflow better if you give me some more info? I happen to think
the CVS features inside of Eclipse are some of the best around. In
fact, when I work in Xcode, I go into Eclipse to do everything related
to CVS. It should be the case that it only flags conflicts if the
concurrent modifications are "too close together" based on whatever
heuristic they use. You can also turn off whitespace in comparisons,
which might help.
(and a FindPanel which remembers what I typed into it),
Ah, so you hate it for the same reason I do, just obviously that
annoys you more than it does me :)
I wonder how any IDE could be taken seriously which doesn't provide
that kind of build integration.
When I do Obj-C now, I realize how much I depend on this feature. In
Eclipse I'm so used to just pasting some code in and seeing the
squiggles that light my path. I realize "crap .. I have to actually
_build_ this thing," and C apps take so damn long to build.
Incremental build has got to be the #1 spoiling technology in Eclipse.
That said, they do a really good job with everything Eclipse sucks
at. I do believe, however, that the distance required to make Eclipse
much better at its failings is far less than that required to make
Xcode match Eclipse, and the fact that it's open source means that if
your annoyance level is high enough, you can always just replace the
thing that annoys you (ala tripleclick).
