Hm, why do you think so ?? There even is JIGS ? A nice thing about 
Eclipse is, that it doesn't use Swing but native widgets. That way, it 
very fast even on older computers (I tried on 400Mhz Celeron).

Maybe a GNUstep backend is possible ;-)

Because somebody has shown me Eclipse and I was impressed by stability 
and speed. Further because Eclipse by definition seems to aim for 
integration with other build systems and file formats. So it's not Java 
centric at all, even though it uses Java as it's implementation language.

At least the Windows version seems to be excellent. I just tried the 
gtk+ snapshot and this wasn't as good (very slow ...).
