Ok the fact that you are saying you are happy with it is enough for me to
start.

I know it doesn't... And i know my post is not really appropriate since i am
kind of asking
for information that other people got sweat for...But:

The last time i tried it, it was not easy to install (I spent more than just
some hours to make it work :o) )
and when finally i managed to install and start it, i couldn't perform basic
staff such as creating a Web Dynamic Project.
This is what i call "waste of time" in this context. People back then was
reverting to Linux to work on Eclipse...Something i wouldn't do, but
prefered to wait for it to become stable enough.

Again thank you for this
