I am an extensive user of MyEclipse since its version 4.1 . I have highly recommended this tool to my team. I am so happy with its Out-of-the-box features as compared to JDeveloper or IntelliJ IDEA.
My latest experience in integrating JSf, Spring, Hibernate using MyEclipse has termendously changed my viewpoint. Here are few observations

1) When you Add JSF/Spring/Hibernate Capabilities out-of-the box to your project using Myeclipse
it adds similar set of JAR files under two locations i) WEB-INF ii)WEB-INF/lib

2) Integration with Application Servers
Tomcat 5.0.28
I have undeployed the application thru Tomcat Admin console unable to do with Myeclipse. Now when i start Tomcat under MyEclipse it shows following error message
INFO: Installing web application at context path /tigers from URL file:C:\Tomcat5.0\webapps\tigers
Sep 19, 2006 12:04:29 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig applicationConfig
INFO: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/tigers]
Sep 19, 2006 12:04:29 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Sep 19, 2006 12:04:29 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context startup failed due to previous errors

This is pretty time consuming . I am not sure how someone will fix ErrorListener . I am not sure where it is coming from especially when i undeployed the application. Not sure what it means. It has taken most of my time

Oracle10g AS
I am not sure whether MyEclipse provides deployment to Remote Application Server especially on Oracle 10g AS 10.1.3

3) Recently i started using MyEclipse 5.0.1 with Eclipse 3.2. Within few days i get a message Workspace crashed i posted on this forum with no much help
All in all i am not getting good development experience with MyEclipse

I forgot to add to above note the integration with ANT. I mean the build.xml which works effectively & efficiently with MyEclipse.

I also figured out without adding any code to WEB-INF/lib directory the size is 15.9 MB that means it adds unnecessary JAR files like toplinkapi.jar, velocitytools.jar
