Eclipse Sucks.

The irony is our lead programmer handled the git cli interface far better than the eclipse one.

I don't think it's ironic - I think it's brilliant. In Windows, the Git Bash shell is a MAJOR step up from Eclipse, but that's not Eclipse's fault. Git effectively put bash, grep, sed, and many other Linux goodies into Windows without all of the heavyweight overhead that Cygwin imposed. (Sorry for the presumption of developing in Windows...)

I've used Eclipse professionally for a decade and the only problem I've ever had with it was the lack of Git-CLI integration directly into a project. Otherwise it's fine, and it's particularly powerful on the remote debugging side of things.

Personally, I wouldn't force my vision kids to care about CLI-compiling their 2nd-order differential equations . But I'm sure there was a point to be made somewhere in there.
