Eclipse is being a butt

double speed = 0.5;
and got and error that said (not exact quote) "incompatible types, int to double"
My point is, Eclipse hasn't been stable at all for me, and I would rather have a tool I know works and trust (Visual Studio) than a tool that has not worked so far. I can't even import a project into a workspace, for crying out loud!

The errors are coming from the compiler, not from Eclipse. Eclipse is just an application framework. With respect, I think you need to read the manuals and more carefully follow the install instructions or you are never going to finish. This environment and cross development in general is more complex than simple VS projects. FYI - I import projects into Eclipse and export projects out of Eclipse every day. Many of the things you say are simply not the case. Our team has had 5 different students install and use Eclipse without problems and I'm developing under Linux. I'm not an Eclipse lover (hate the editor) but it is working as advertised.
