Answer 1

I dont know if its appropriate question for stackoverflow or not but i am answering for your understanding!

NodeEclipse is a Node.js development plugin for Eclipse IDE while Enide is a full IDE based on Eclipse and NodeEclipse. So if you install Enide it feels like you are using Eclipse may be thats why you got confused!

Answer 2

As Nodeclipse author I can tell that

Nodeclipse was started at Lamb Gao from China,
then Tomoyuki Inagaki from Japan integrated debugging (see Eclipse and Node.Js debugging) and did few more releases with small contribution from Paul Verest. And after Tomoyuki went into non responsive state, Paul Verest(me) continued and for much longer time.

Initially Enide, was .p2f file to quickly install Nodeclipse together with some other found related plugins: like Markdown. Then I used Enide for something broader then Nodeclipse: general tools and tools for Java, full standalone Eclipse IDE packages as Enide Studio.
While using Nodeclipse for Node.js tools and organization name.

There is http://www.nodeclipse.org/history page that link to some issues, but all has been public in https://github.com/nodeclipse/nodeclipse-1 issues.
