Worked with it for at least a year, the experience wasn’t bad (though I and a colleague had a nasty Eclipse bug that wasn’t fixed at least half a year, no reinstall helped, and I had the same bug at home on a completely different machine; no one on the Internet seemed to have the same problem, though).

Why do so many programmers dislike eclipse?

I dislike Eclipse for many reasons: It’s too complex. For example, switching to a ‘debug perspective’ is unnecessary. Other IDEs don’t do this. The menus are horrendously overloaded with options. Eclipse tends to have capabilities as options that other IDEs have built-in and well-integrated, such as JEE.

As an IDE it is really good. It does require having very good hardware to run it smoothly, but if you do have the hardware it might just require a couple of tweaks to the properties and you will have it running blasting speed. Since it is extensible, you also can transfer your Eclipse knowledge to new technologies.
