Yeah, the give-me-more-money-licence-it-for-a-year was starting to turn
us off IDEA so we gave Eclipse a chance. It behaves more nicely on OS X
than IDEA did, though now that OS X is on 1.4, I don't know which would be
better. We still have an IDEA licence for this year, so I ought to play
with it still.

Setting up a new cvs project in Eclipse seems to be easy enough now that
I've understood it. I still prefer the ease in which IDEA let you interact
with CVS.
