Just because it is better than it was doesn't mean there isn't more
extraneous space that could be trimmed.
Exactly.

This is actually Eclipse making a mess of applying the Adwaita theme. Compare with gEdit's file browser: http://i.imgur.com/b52VXS2.png
IntelliJ's file browser is certainly more dense, but arguably less attractive, (note, I did drop GNOME's font size down to 9 for this screenie, because that's closer to the font size that IntelliJ uses, since it ignores GNOME's setting): http://i.imgur.com/VqqH7Gd.png
This all boils down to a matter of taste; no one theme will satisfy everybody, but that's why the toolkit can be themed. If Adwaita's use of white-space isn't to your liking you can always choose a different theme that suits your tastes better.
