Quite a few people like Eclipse - I pretty much only hear good things
about it. But I'm too old to change my text hacking mindset from text
based toolsets - and I'm welded onto the gnu toolchain, across a number
of target platforms, having used it exclusively in the latter half of a
quarter century of embedded development. (ctags and a few bits and
pieces give me enough of Eclipse's bells and whistles to keep me
happy.) So long as that's convenient on linux, I'll continue to use
AVRs.
