? My
naïve understanding is that Eclipse is Emacs of the 21-st century – it
is open
source, customizable etc., similar to Emacs; in addition to being
graphical.</span></p>

Thank you! I was wondering why I hated Eclipse so much, and you have
put your finger on it. It's exactly like a 21-st century Emacs.<br>

I'm not so sure it is a bad idea to teach Eclipse. I think it's worth
mentioning that eclipse exists, but to just point them in the right
direction, and then teach the basics.<br>
