Regarding the 4th option, would GNOME Builder be a good starting

Maybe. I think there's a balance between having something compelling
and new vs. providing a comfortable environment that people can slide
right into.
For case #4 (large organization developer), Eclipse is probably the way
to go. There's a large community around it already, so we wouldn't be
starting from scratch. It's used by 23% of developers according to the
Stack Overflow developer survey¹.
Once the produce the full data dump from that survey, we could even
cross-reference the Workstation target audiences to preferred
environment, to make data-driven decisions here.
