Sometimes I ask this interesting question to myself.
"Am I addicted to use Eclipse?"
There are only a few developers in the software house I have been working and most of the people just don't even try to use it. I am the only one doing his C/C++ work on Eclipse for nearly 3 years on Windows XP. Also, I do my Python development on it at the office. That's not all. I do all my CVS works, Remote connections and debugging, Task management etc. using Eclipse.
When I come to home, after a rest, I start to work on my M. Sc. thesis. There is a software implementation side which I need to write some TCL scripts and do some C++ implementation on a Linux machine. Again, Eclipse is there and I use it to implement my simulation (I implement a WSN simulation on ns2 by the way). Then I need to write the thesis document. There it is. I can even write a latex code in Eclipse.
Now, you tell. Am I addicted to Eclipse or it is just too good?

Don't worry - other person, same story :)
I don't think Eclipse is physically addictive, it's just habit forming. Some people are happy with rocks and pointed sticks as their tools, but you've evolved beyond that.
Rocks and pointed sticks? You're the ones using point-and-grunt interfaces...
Many many years ago, I did almost all my writing using Tecco - an editor on the PDP8 that our institute had. I even wrote my phd-thesis using tecco. Why? Well, you could buy a middle class car for the price of a word processing tool at that time! Anyway, take it easy- I never considered myself adicted to tecco. It went away. Now I am using Eclipse. Is this new "addicttion" now better or worse? ;-)
