I never thought that working in browser can be more fun than Eclipse IDE. But my thinking is changing these days, first http://jsfiddle.net/ became my favorite playground for any HTML/Javascript research and now I felt Developer Console is way more convenient and faster to work as compared to Eclipse, reasons:
No need to checkout project and wait for metadata download to start.
No need to update/sync the project, you are always working on latest copy.
Save is pretty fast too, and thankfully “CTRL + S” works here also.
Developer console remembers the last opened files, when launched again.
The Trick !
Apart from the above, I figured a small trick that makes it even more easier to work with Developer Console. Here is a video that shows the trick in action

February 1, 2012 at 4:58 amHey Jev,Developer console can bypass eclipse in terms of speed for checking out the project and all those sync issues. I am working for consulting company and I need to work on different projects/orgs, so its much easier for me to quickly open dev. console and get my job done.But yes, for deployments and stuff like GIT, Eclipse still has a big scope.
