I can sympathise with that!
As I’ve previously noted, Eclipse does seem to live in a world of its own, and operates in a way totally unlike any other “normal” IDE - such as Visual Studio.
But, like it or not, Eclipse does seem to be rapidly becoming the IDE framework of choice among embedded suppliers - so it would sem worthwhile to invest some time in getting to understand it.
