At it's core, Eclipse is really good at Java. It's why it killed off Visual Cafe and most other commercial IDEs (was sad to see Borland go).
The issue is that it's more than just a Java language editor. Once you load it up with all the extras to accommodate development models, frameworks, runtimes, build processes, etc. it does become an unwieldy mess. But it's really hard not to considering how moving parts large-scale development has.
