NOT arguing PITA sides of eclipse. But best of breed in java if you have to include other scripting (Jython, JS/Rhino). VS also supports this but (not tested latest releases for improvements there!) but was not that far ahead there as in C# support compared to Java in Eclipse. AND C# having features one generation advanced over Java is hard to separate from "pure IDE" as it adds to coding joy.
