I may misunderstand your statements, but I don't think the tooling "Eclipses" it at all. 
Instead, I think it increases the user's productivity by taking care of the boilerplate code (maven configuration and @Deployment method), providing an easy way to launch the test (with the appropriate profile) and giving some validation too.
It *does not* remove the ability to run the tests from command line with maven.. 


Just my 0.02€ ;-)

Irony: When the design criteria of Arquillian to be usable without special IDE tooling becomes "eclipsed" *with* the tooling.

yes, and we should avoid this and I think we can - cc'ed you on the jbosstools-dev mail on this topic.

The arquillian tooling should *augment* what is there in eclipse not "take it over"

Awesome, Snjezana.
