I somehow have this problem with Eclipse too. I really love its features, especially for Java/Android development, but it sometimes handles like you're driving a truck. Even on a fast PC. So its not that much 'fun' to use for me.
Qt Creator is one of the fow IDEs I positively like working with. It is fast, featureful and somehow doesn't get in my way like Eclipse does. The only drawback is that it's very Qt and C++-focused, so outside that area usefulness quickly dwindles.
For the rest I like Sublime Text. ST somehow helps you stay focused on the text. It is very fast and feels smooth. Like other "simple" editors it opens very quickly so can be used for editing independent scripts and configuration as well as source code, and does not impose any kind of framework or project structure.
