Has anyone already evaluated the benefits/difficulties to have Eclipse IDE featured on the Window Store or other app stores?

I have, although it was over a year ago. It's ..... complicated. The issues are mostly around the packaging requirements and the legal terms and conditions. They are not insurmountable, but it would be a non-trivial amount of technical, legal, and administrative effort to get our packages into these channels.

In my humble opinion, if someone was volunteering to do more work in this area getting up-to-date packages into the Debian and Ubuntu apt repositories is where I would start. (I think you Red Hat folk are already keeping it current on Fedora/yum, right?)

Why do you ask?
