Eclipse+ADT have saved my day in combination with Eclipse Memory Analyzer Tool. I'm sure there are other Java power tools that would be missed if you gave up on Eclipse, too.

Having said that, and bearing in mind the utility of stuff like the File Browser and debugger, I never liked working in Eclipse. I use eclim and send it commands from vim, and that's all the IDE I usually need. I also avoid using ADT for commands that can be better used through adb and shell script - e.g. logcat is much more useful when I can tee it to a local file and analyze it in a real text editor than it is in ADT's view.
