I agree with what you say about about oXygen. Great tool and great company.

I personally do not like to use it in eclipse, mainely because all  
functionanlity of the standalone editor cannot be reproduced (right now I  
am thinking of 'Find All').

What I really like is that I can use the same license for my Apple,  
Windows and Linux boxes.
