Using Eclipse for BRS development is like using a bazooka to kill a mosquito. Approximately as much overkill; not worth installing for that. However if you are already accustomed to Eclipse and use it day to day, under the Golden Hammer rule it makes sense to use the plugin.
I have tried both ways, and once the application became large it was more beneficial for me to use Eclipse with the plugin. The project explorer is a quick way to access any file quickly, even my images , xml, json. The outliner allows fast access to functions in different modules and shows me where any naming conflicts may arise. To be able to zip, sideload and debug in a couple of mouse clicks is also a benefit. Also copying code from other projects, running test code in a test project - etc.
Even the editor is helpful most of the time. I'm using Version: Helios Service Release 2 Build id: 20110218-0911 with windows 8. No problem except from time to time I have to re-enter the ip address in the deployment wizard (don't know if this is intentional or just a bug). It can only get better with each release of the plugin (I hope)
