I'm a Java developer using IDEA. I still spend most of my time in a shell. Mouse pointing and clicking to do things like run builds annoys me when I can alt-tab and run a script to run unit tests.

I think IDEA is a fantastic IDE, and possibly there are shortcuts to do what I'm doing in a shell, but even screen redraws etc take up needless time and force me to wait when I don't need to with smart use of a shell.

I'm an old school vim/perl hacker though, so maybe I just am used to working a particular way, having "grown up" with the shell, I can't imagine not using it to do most of my work for me.
