Strangely,
I too fell asleep with the eldar codex and trying to make a list.
They are actually an interesting army, because there is no way you can assemble a large force. You actually need to have different units performing different roles, shooting, holding, assault and a lot of their units are underwhelming. The standout unit is the Fire Prism, but otherwise there are a LOT of choices and options.
I think they aren't boring, they are intrigiung. And I'm looking forward to Eldar after orks. The ork force ends up so big and too much painting.
And the "faerie" notion of Eldar isn't fair either. Sure toughness 3 is instant kill paradise, but their tanks are cool and aspect warriors potentially very tough.
And they can be painted nicely with a whole range of color options.
