I prefer VIM, but I still need Eclipse to do my job effectively due to circumstance.

Like Eclipse only plugins whose functionality I would have to take time I can't justify to duplicate. Plus the additional maintenance cost of the dev team no longer having a homogeneous environment. All to allow me to be able to... do what I already do.

Don't get me wrong, I'd really enjoy taking a week to explore the options and put together a better development environment for myself and my team. I do make improvements where I can already. But we're already an effective team despite Eclipse's flaws, the RoI just isn't there from a business perspective.
