I need to spend a lot of time manipulating ridiculous amounts of Excel data and often find myself with a dozen or more Excel workbooks open in several different instances of Excel, making it very difficult to find the worksheet I want at any given time.
I came to the realization that I could tone down this madness by using Eclipse by opening the both excel files and csv files with the "In-Place" editor.
However, I can't figure out how to make the in-place editor the default editor. Any ideas?
(Alternatively, is there a way I can add a file-explorer panel and tabs to excel to give it similar functionality.)

Tip. You can set which Eclipse editor or external program to use to open a specific type of file based on its file extension. Just select Window→ Preferences→ Workbench→ File Associations, select the file type, and associate an editor or program with it (if nothing else, you can use Eclipse's default text editor).
js file (any file of the type you want Eclipse to open by default) -> Open With -> Choose default program -> Choose Eclipse (you may need to browse and find the Eclipse executable file (the launcher)). Do this for . java and . js files and you're good to go.
General > Editors > File Associations preference page, you can add or remove file types recognized by the Workbench.
You can go to Window->Preferences->Editors->File Associations and associate *.csv file with the Text Editor. Then set it as the default editor. Unfortunately it seems just clicking the csv file does not open it. Selecting the file and clicking F3 works though.
