Xamarin vs. Eclipse.

How does the IDE Eclipse compare with Xamarin, features-wise. Are they generally the same, or is one more desirable for development than the other. I am currently using Xamarin, and it seems to be very similar except in the ease of visual tools

+1 for Android Studio. A massive upgrade from Eclipse, in my opinion.
