I just spent 2 hours trying and failing to get a Hello, World! in Eclipse, I'm not brave enough for Linux

Depending on what you want to do the one does not imply the other. (And some times coding actually is easier on Linux, I had a way better experience compiling my c++ projects there then my friend had on windows)
