Glad I invested the time to learn Vim. Can't trust anyone these days. Everything seems to revolve around politics.

Eclipse is still a great option for Java. And I was pleasantly surprised at Devoxx last month when Oracle's Stuart Marks whipped out ye olde Netbeans for some live coding during a talk.

Dev tool monopolies are as bad as any other monopoly.

Honestly if Eclipse was the only option for writing code, I'd probably just find another job. I would probably choose Notepad and a terminal over Eclipse.
Care to elaborate as to why?
