Downloaded it, tried it to build some C++ code, with a few requirements. It has to work with C++17 style code to use on an existing codebase. It should use clang + llvm instead of g++. I want to use the clangd language server (or ccls) with eclipse, probably via a plugin.

Even something this fundamental took me a fair bit of searching through forums and is turning out to be a hot mess.

With Xcode, IntelliJ and CLion, and heck even VSCode, things just work for me. Key bindings make sense. Common options are available and where you'd expect them to be. There's actual "flow" in my workflow instead of having to battle with the tools.

IMHO Eclipse tries to be everything and the kitchen sink, and it's getting increasingly hard(er) to get set up and use productively.
