I've never particularly liked IDEs for one reason or another and I've never felt like one was necessary for Roku development (hence I've never even considered installing Eclipse). Although I have to admit some of NML's comments make it sound intriguing, as soon as I see the word "Java", count me out (is Eclipse Java-based?).
I've gotten by without a command history with copy and paste (what a pain), but it's certainly the one item I'd like to see the console support. belltown, if you come up with a Windows console app with the features you propose, I think you'd be my hero. 😄
