Calm down, I wasn't exactly criticizing or anything.

It's just that I'd say that is *very* uncommon. Not *using* Eclipse is 
something else: some people prefer lightweight editors, other people use 
languages where Eclipse IDEs aren't that powerful, so they use other 
IDEs, and even for Java, there are people who prefer IntelliJ IDEA, or 
NetBeans(!), over Eclipse JDT. But not *knowing* about Eclipse, it's 
like... like never hearing about Ruby or something. Highly uncommon for 
someone who is a software developer (which I assume you are).
