Interesting to note that two "amazing" apps written with Java are to help Java programmers ...

Why is that interesting? Emacs uses a lisp; does that mean anything about emacs or lisp? (Edit: I'm being serious, I guess I don't see why Java being used to write Java editors is a big deal.)

To characterize both exclusively as tools to help java programmers shows that you haven't investigated either very much.
