I created an aggregate New and Noteworthy based on what I could find
from the projects involved. I handpicked entries that (a) I could
(re)articulate and (b) were user focused (though I did throw GEF a
bone based on their enthusiasm to be included).

I dropped the ball getting this linked last week. I hooked it up
this morning.
I don't see this as cast in stone. We can update this document.

believe Wayne is addressing this as we type, but the lack of a
combined New and Noteworthy make the upgrade experience rather
unexciting.
I upgraded Luna to Mars, and couldn't really tell what was
different from five minutes ago since I pointed my shiny new
Eclipse at an existing workspace. I was left with the question,
"why did I just upgrade?"
I'll open a FR, but I think we could/should leverage the Welcome
screen to show some exciting What's New info even if we're working
on an existing workspace.
I did file some bugs for the horrible look of Eclipse on Linux.
Apparently my version of GTK 3 and/or oxygen theme has something
to do with it.

* Overall, some interest and enthusiasm. Even people who don't
like
Eclipse love to talk about it ;)
* Dark Theme still not perfect
* JDT completion not perfect with Java 8 (it was highlighter in
an
EclipseCon France talk:
https://www.eclipsecon.org/france2015/session/jdk-8-refactoring-eclipse
)
* Questionable benefit of the Mars .app and installer
But there are some good arguments in this thread to defend
Eclipse
against IntelliJ:
* The lack of incremental builder in IntelliJ is unacceptable
for some users
* Swing-based APIs are uglier than SWT-based ones in much cases.
As usual, those who say bad things against Eclipse seem to not
have
started it since Kepler.
I'm a bit surprised by the lack of feedback on the nested
projects
thing. It seems to be too hidden for most users to find it
(since many
packages use the Package Explorer view, which doesn't even
provide the
feature; and since even if user open the Project Explorer the
feature is
off by default). However, everyone who finds this feature seems
to be
immediately very pleased with it, that's already good.
