Where are these people come from? Installing Eclipse is as easy as unpacking ZIP file. Unlike VisualStudio, whose installer is just slow and buggy piece of crap, which constantly breaks so hard, that you have to download a special tool to reinstall it.

visual studio express 2008 took me less than 5 minutes total to get up and running.

netbeans or eclipse took me far longer to start building web apps (GAE or scala/lift)

plus the IDE itself has a very long load time and terribly slow response time.
