Pros
Supposedly - the best for distribution - with regards to forcasting, purchasing, inventory, email, ftp, flat files, reporting is good - if you can figure out how to get the data out. most users / companies can't or spend years trying to ....
Cons
1. company has been bought and sold many times in 15 years. Each time the new company tries to squeeze its users so the new company can implement cost savings and pay for their acquisition. ie outsourcing their customer service reps to other countries without having any training. so until you escalate and waste time, you don't get the question/issue resolved until you wind up back with some cust. service agent in America.
2. lacks automation. There are so many software companies popping up that automate sales and purchasing tasks, eclipse relies on Q's and user interactions instead of rules.
3. Not flexible in they SOP's you have to conform or your doing it wrong.
4. any mod is 10k plus - (if they even have time to quote you -)
5. you can't get much outside help for it - not too many people know universe databases or PIC programming language.
6. I could go on but I won't, is not a good look for a business.
7. very expensive.

Pros
Eclipse is a very essential IDE to develop any type of application or web app. It comes with a lot of modules and you can complement it with plugins. You can even change the appearance to your liking.
We basically use it to develop java applications and we complement it with jsp, hibernate, spring and a tomcat server. It's very fast to run the server and we usuarlly debug a lot with Eclipse. It's the main feature that we use to find bugs in our app.
All the languages it supports and all the pluggins that there are to complement the ide.
I really love that it's free and opensource
Cons
I do not like that if your application is too big, with a lot of files or with a lot of projects, eclipse can not handle to run an application that big and crashes.
Eclipse also has a lot of validations to jsp files or html files, and every time you open one, Eclipse validates it and some times crashes too. It's very annoying because you loose all your work if you did not save it.
The learning curve could be extensive, but when you learn all the basics, the pros outweight the cons.
