That's not a "mode", it's a Perspective. Eclipse perspectives are basically a set of windows and tool selectors, and are one of the core concepts of working with Eclipse. There are a "java (editing)" perspective, "debug" perspective, a "resource" perspective, a "team synchronizing" perspective and quite a few more. Plus, if none of them suit, you can create your own perspective or use one of the third-party plugins such as the "hibernate tools" perspective.
To change to a different perspective, you can use the Window menu, certain navigation keys, or one of the Perspective toolbar buttons.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
