So in that highly configurable and scriptable environment you can't create a macro like sout that expands to System.out.println, really?
Also, if it can't even import symbols automatically, then it sounds like a tool problem. Java is like one of the simplest languages, it has no fancy features, has sane imports, ultra-stable tooling, etc.
The point of an IDE is to improve productivity. And I think you just haven't seen someone who knows the ins and outs of an IDE fly while writing Java there.
