Some seven years in the making, the Eclipse Foundation's Theia IDE project is now generally available, emerging from beta to challenge Microsoft's similar Visual Studio Code editor, with which it shares much tech.
This is their “light IDE” basically, the equivalent of VS Code. Their Java IDE is the full thing, well, Eclipse. Although I personally prefer IntelliJ IDEA.
Had a coworker five years ago who wouldn’t let go of it. And he was really productive.
To my understanding, there are still some things it does better than IntelliJ, for instance being able to add all missing imports in one go instead of one by one.
I’ll admit though that this is a rather tiny advantage, and as I haven’t touched Java in quite a while, it may be even outdated.
But how’s the java support? If it’s better than vs code then it might be worth something.

Is anyone using Eclipse anymore? I’ve barely heard anything about it the past 10 years.

It is outdated. It just requires two clicks.
Which clicks? I haven’t found them.
