This is NOT simple stuff. While this may have help me awhile ago, 3.3
provided me with all of the stuff on the link. The only things my plug-in

rework my plug-in into two incompatible versions nor am I going to rework a
WDSC/RDi workbench when 3.3 has been GA since June of last year and 3.4 is
getting close.
Notice the phrase "I'm not about to". That's your decision.
Eclipse is free, RDi is not. RDi needs to offer value over what is free and
currently available as well as EVERYTHING in the free and current codebase.
This is your opinion.

I'm going to avoid an argument, because it really is just about opinion. I don't consider RDi to be an Eclipse competitor. There is in fact NO competition for RDi in any Eclipse-based product: there are no RPG editors, no Service Entry Points, the list goes on. And personally, I'd rather the team focus on giving me development tools rather than trying to keep pace with Eclipse.

Sure, I'd like both. I'd love a 3.3 compatible, platform-independent RDi. But my bet is that the majority of people will take a working Screen Designer over either of those two. And it's really a matter of what's best for the community.
