I love it. It only has a few quirks that bug me. 1) It won't do FTP sync properly on anything other than the workspace (as opposed to the working set, which would be stellar if it worked). I get around this by closing other projects and having small-ish projects (although this is changing). 2) It constantly wants to reinstall certain plug-ins (probably because they are integration builds or something). I turned off auto update to get around it. 3) I can't confirm this, but it MAY have issues with line endings. This may also be a problem with the FTP sync. Not sure whose fault it is. Could be Filezilla, jEdit, or any other thing. Overall, I have no problems with speed or much of anything else (including getting plug-ins to work).

It's a mess. But in my case at least, I realized it had to do more with Ubuntu then Eclipse itself. I then went back to EasyEclipse, which works just fine and is quite stable. Not sure about your plugin, but it gets most of the other problems out of the way. http://www.easyeclipse.org I had gone through the same experience recently. It’s a mess.

Wonder when they'll work on improving that. Oh I totally agree, Eclipse plugins are really a pain in the ass to install and keep up to date. Wonder when they’ll work on improving that.

I've finally just given up. It's so incredibly slow on every platform I've tried it on, and as you said getting all the plugins to work is a whole day's exercise. I don't like any IDE that takes longer to start than my computer :) I’ve tried giving Eclipse a shot several times in the past. I’ve finally just given up.
