Additionally, you can install multiple versions of plugins and activate/deactivate them at will without worrying about harming your true install. Finally, plugins can also be shared across Eclipse installs. Unzipping a new Eclipse over the old will almost never work because you're not deleting old files that shouldn't be there in the new one. Who knows what sort of havoc that will wreak. You are right about Preferences, however.

For all the celebrations, and delayed releases (I was waiting for this, I religiously downloaded all RCs), this is too flaky! I agree.
