I love the idea of an installer or setup wizard to guide the user through the initial setup. It would also be of great benefit to the IDE landing page (http://eclipse.org/ide/), enabling it to offer a single download and still address (most of) the user's individual needs.
It would be great to hear from the others here what your requirements would be for a good Eclipse download and first-start experience.

I completely agree. I think asking some basic questions like the language(s) to be used, development domain (Java, JavaEE, Plug-Ins, Web, Embedded) and basic support technologies (SCM kind, Maven, Issue Tracker) should make it possible to configure a very good (almost) out-of-the-box experience. And for the more individial types, we can always delegate to the Marketplace Client afterwards.
