 "Eclipse as a First IDE" - pure madness? or just unadulterated idiocy?

Yes, THAT would be pure madness. I've never understood  that "IDE". Maybe
I'm not smart enough, however I don't know any developer who uses it on a
daily basis and knows how it works. I occasionally use it because I have to.
OTOH, I've not had any issues with Visual Studio, Borland's IDEs, Emacs; or
any other IDE I've just given a shot, for that matter.
