Eclipse never takes more than 10 seconds to open for me... And yes I do have several plugins being used :P
If I have enough shit open, Eclipse actually manages to consume all of the free memory on my old laptop (3GB). Then I have to reboot. That's actually pretty damn impressive for what is ostensibly a fancy text editor.
Eclipse has a max memory usage of 1gb iirc. It is java so you can set the cap.

Just restarting Eclipse fixes that for me.
Eclipse is the bomb, I've been using it for a while now. As for learning the language, I learned through trial and error with some guidance from books.
[QUOTE=Serapth;34759397]EDIT: Disagreeing with... evidence?[/QUOTE] I think they're disagreeing because they don't have the same problem. On my school machine, which uses Deep Freeze (hate the shit out of it) it takes a while to boot, but so does every other IDE I run. On my home machine, which is an AMD Phenom II Quad 955 with 4GB of ram, I get approximately 10 second load time, with Steam and Teamspeak running in the background. Only difference I can think of is I am running 32bit versions at both locations and you're probably running 64.
Its because it has to check whether or not a workspace is selected and prepare the resources to ask you to select a workspace, etc. Check the "Use this as default and dont ask again" checkbox and ask again
[QUOTE=Serapth;34765812]Eclipse loading on an Atom netbook in 10 seconds? Bullshit. Hell, so far I'm the only one that's posted anything more than anecdotal evidence, no matter how many people called bullshit on me. So Im doing the same for you, post a video of this netbook loading Eclipse in less than 10 seconds and I will eat crow...[/QUOTE] On my old Pentium 4 3.2Ghz, IDE HDD's, 2 GB DDR2 Ram it took me around 20 seconds to load up, On my ex's Atom 256MB ram I got Eclipse to load up in 20 seconds, On my best friends I5 2500K 3.6Ghz, 8GB Ram it takes him 20 seconds to load, On my brothers I7 2600 1.6Ghz, 6GB ram it takes him around 20 seconds, On my other brothers AMD+ or whatever 2gb ram it takes him around 20 seconds to load it. By the way I figured out how to use Eclipse like I did for Netbeans and Microsoft Visual Studio's without needing someone to guide me :)
I use vim. It loads in a fraction of the time it takes Eclipse or Netbeans on any of your "gaming rigs" on any piece of crap Linux box. E.g. a 486 could load vim faster than your i7 with 12gb of RAM and an SSD could load eclipse.

What I'd like is eclipse with Flash Develop style code completion
