Is the Eclipse plug-in better than it was and fit for purpose?
It had definitly improved a lot over the last year. In Dec I attended the Groovy&Grails Exchange in London. There was a great talk regarding the Groovy&Grails integration in Eclipse/SpringSource STS that has been recorded, see the video.
From my point of view, Eclipse gained a lot of ground. Currently IntelliJ seems to be a slight bit ahead but that might change within the next few months.
