Well, the eclipse classic is faster for sure, but i think we are all used to the eclipse JEE slowness :)
I know nothing about eclipse development but...if you use the XML editor as base, in a common page I think you will have the schema only for standard tapestry components...am I right ? Example: <html xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_1_0.xsd"> ... </html> so you have the xmlns for tapestry, but what about html/css ? or you can insert html and css schemas as auto-included like the jsp editor?
