Second was Eclipse by Wayne Beaton. In his presentation Wayne moved away from Eclipse as an IDE towards Eclipse as a platform. And in fact if you look at it, Eclipse in its raw delivery does not provide much comfort. However, as a platform and community effort, Eclipse lives from its contributors and thus has tons of features and functionality to offer.
Even so it is an opinion of the Principal Product Manager for Oracle/JDeveloper product, I find it quite confusing that Eclipse is make such impression when presented next to the other IDEs.
Does this mean that Eclipse is officially gave up trying to be the best IDE and choose to try to be a Platform for others to build on?
