I do find it is hard to use for all of the same reasons. Moreover sometimes you have to click on a button twice, and yet other features only start working for the first time after you re-start Eclipse; such bugs spoil it for n00bs. I would say something nasty now, but it would profit me not, so one nice thing about Eclipse is that it probably gets easier to use after about 3 years of using it.

I think it comes prebundled with the Ruby flavour of Netbeans and should be available from the plugin menu. Alternatively, you can get it here: http://mediacast.sun.com/share/tor/org-netbeans-modules-ruby-themes.nbm You can read on Tor Norbye's blog about it: http://blogs.sun.com/tor/entry/ruby_screenshot_of_the_week19 The theme is called Dark Pastels.

It's way too busy. I remember being really frustrated because Eclipse stopped showing the location of the file in my Package Explorer when I brought up files in the Editor. It took me a long time to figure it out. I had accidentally clicked the "link" button on the Package Explorer that links it with the Editor. Little things like that shouldn't be so easy to screw up.
