> IntelliJ tends to eat gigabytes per instance Mine is currently sitting at 1.7GB with 3 projects open, but yes it does use a lot of memory. I never argued that it doesn't, but as you point out: > great features are refactoring, advanced syntax highlighting, code completion and advanced search Syntax highlighting and search are common these days, code completion is in most decent editors/IDE's but the key one is refactoring, and it's associated tools: find usage. I keep trying out KomodoIDE (still not really native, but at least it's not Java) hoping it will be good enough to change to, and it hasn't gotten there yet. > If someone wrote something that is not a hog and can handle Android flavor of C++ and Java as well I'd switch in a heartbeat. The problem for me I think, is language/tool support in general. I generally write in scripting/interpreted languages (although I have written Java for a client) but it could be shell, php, python, ruby, sql, or of course any number of 'data' formats - json, xml, markdown, yaml (if Im feeling masochistic that day).
