"Eclipse is written in Java, so it's dog-slow and not very portable; otherwise, I'd suggest writing a GIMP plug-in for Eclipse."
I think an Eclipse RCP/Plugin that ran GIMP would be a great idea. Especially if it was compiled with GCJ and didn't depend on local JVM.

So I can't speak for Linux use, but I find Eclipse UI (SWT) to be faster and more native feeling than GIMP (GTK) (despite recent improvements on the GIMP side)
Making a GIMP/Eclipse RCP would not do much for Linux users, but would help make the experience better for Windows/OS X users, and *would* be portable across all those platforms.
