It's not so bad TBH. As in if I couldn't get IntelliJ on my machine, I'd use it.

I'd go out of my way to install the necessary plugins on vscode before I'd use Eclipse. I can't even figure out how to open my damn project that I accidentally closed FFS!!

Yeah...... I prefer to blame the tool (one could argue that I'm the tool)

Eclipse was the reason why I gave up on programming in middle school.

It's a hot mess. Or it was 10 years when I was last forced to use it.

I remember there was one setting I needed to adjust from time to time. However the menu tree it was in had been removed leaving it a orphaned tree. So you couldn't get to it through the ui. The only way to get to the setting was to go to a unrelated page in the documentation and click on the goto link in it. That would launch the menu that otherwise didn't exist. From there you could back up and get into the menu to adjust the setting.

Sounds like some plugin issue.
