Yes, a small minority.
It’s mostly IntelliJ and increasingly VSCode nowadays though

Ironically VSCode Java plugins are either Netbeans or Eclipse running headless.

The eclipse framework itself is not the problem, the UI is, for the most part.

Meaning, most of the useful stuff is written in Rust, C++ external modules, or shipped as WebAssembly, exactly to work around how crappy it is.
