I use Eclipse as my main IDE for C/C++, python, javascript, go, html, css, etc. I don't understand how some of my office mates don't use IDE's when you have things like:

Show all uses of struct field/function/global variable (ctrl shift h)

Rename struct field/function/global variable (alt shift r)

Jump to definition of anything and back (alt click, alt left, alt right)

Autocomplete for struct fields, etc.

And the best part about it is that I've spent a total of 5 minutes messing with settings, instead of 1 day+ trying to set up ctags and the 50+ vim plugins that would be required to even come close to the same functionality.

It even uses my Makefiles with -j4 so incremental C builds are super fast.
