This! Same with Zend Studio (based on Eclipse) vs Jetbrains PHP Storm, huge improvements in productivity due to more features and most of all faster speeds.

Somehow on Core I7, 26GB ram + SSD it still takes me less time to make a cup of coffee than for Eclipse to start up :(

I love Jetbrains tools!

As another poster mentioned, the latest eclipse version "Luna" is much faster and better than previous versions. It boots up faster than the beta versions of Android Studio.

I've been using Luna for a month, it's much faster at startup, they did a great job with Luna. Each version of Eclipse in the past 6 years has been improving.

Eclipse (I use Luna which seems to be faster than the previous version) starts in a matter of seconds on my MacBook Air (8GB of RAM + SSD).
