- "It is like a sweet cherub that lures you in with kind smiles and a gentle touch, AND THEN, when you want to do something out of its little box of gay baby tricks, it turns into devil spawn, with the wrath of all injustice ever served, it sucks your soul dry, and makes everything black and death and hate and pain. DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE. You have been warned."
- "I look back on the time I used eclipse and a dark shadow falls upon my whole being. I can see now that it was some twisted mind f*ck that I will never understand the extent of the evil behind. It is a darker, more spirited and intent evil than any else i know of on Earth. At the time of using Eclipse, its power blocked all light and i could see only darkness, a deep desperate hole that the Eclipse designers and engineers had constructed so perfectly there seemed to be no seam; no way out. I can now see past it. To all other developers that find themselves in the depths of despair that Eclipse will bring you, I offer you only solace: if you have any human soul you will defeat the dark, dark evil that lies in the lines of code of this devil-sent tool. Find the strength to defeat this great evil. Developers everywhere require it of you."
I think Bjarne Stoustrop said (about C++) that There are two kinds of programming languages: The kind everyone complains about, and the kind no one uses. This is true for Eclipse as well. For any piece of software in widespread use, you can find a number of people who think that it is a piece of shit.
