Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
The worst thing about eclipse I've had to deal with is its git integration. The conflict resolution tool is awful and half the terminology diverges from plain git.
The fact that it has a "Push & Commit" button also drives me mad far more than it should
Honestly I've never had an IDE whose git integration I preferred over just using the command line, or pulling out Source Tree. Just wish Source Tree was available on Linux...
I haven't used much Git since I started using IntelliJ IDEs. True, I had to fix some issues when the IDE just refused to do its thing, but IIRC it was one specific situation where I cherry picked changes that I already had, where it got stuck on cherry picking.
Emacs Magit is so much better than the CLI, and I don't say that lightly. And it's available on Linux.
VSCode with a shitload of extensions pretty much does the job
A shitload? I thought it was just:
I prefer the CLI as well, but when I'm not a dev I supervise practical works in programming classes, where I don't have much saying in the recommended/required tools
Wait… “Push & Commit”? Not “Commit & Push”? Where do I join the Eclipse hate club?
I don't remember exactly, but the issue is about the existence of a button that makes beginners think a commit and a push are part of the same atomic operation. Not the order of the words on this button

I was about to say how Eclipse saved my ass once in final project in college, then I remembered it was Netbeans that saved me. It was a feature that create an ugly looking but fully functional system by connecting to a relational database - right now, I really wish I could remember the name of it, or the step by step. That was back in 2012.
A trigger warning on this post for Android devs would’ve been nice.
