I liken Eclipse to the 'kitchen sink' analogy - it seems to come with everything, even the 'kitchen sink' (an old American idiom). Some of the things that make Eclipse so great can also make it bit too 'loud' and/or cumbersome. There are SO many integrations that it makes it feel like a no-brainer.
That said, if you love features, and you love customizing your environment this is def the product you want to roll with. I was coming from a background using Vi/Vim, and being thrown into Eclipse is a bit like sky diving when you are used to a trampoline.
When I was first introduced to Eclipse, now 8+ years ago, it was a bit overwhelming. It's really is amazing how it just seems to do a bit of everything. The Eclipse team really does care about their product. I recommend you check it out - see if it's your style and if so, buy them some coffee - they really do a great job and I applaud them for being so dedicated over the years. As such, I don't use Eclipse as much as some. As such my go-to's are often a hodgepodge of tools that compliment each other (due the type of work I often do). I think if you are a hardcore developer or engineer, Eclipse is a great candidate for your champion IDE, but if you are seasoned old guy like myself, I prefer simplicity, more purpose-built IDE's aka I prefer less features and more mastery in my IDE. They really do put their heart and soul into the product, and the fact that it has such a strong long-lived community says a lot. Overall, you can def get the job done with Eclipse.
