Definately agree. I think a good alternative is something I used at my old job (when I wasn't required to run a clunky ide). Just use tmux for window management. Use vim for your ide. Use the shell for interacting w/ the OS and automating things. Then I use firefox with pentadactyl so I rarely have to ever resort to the mouse. Not the best dev environment, but I'm too lazy at this point to learn/develop alternatives. Maybe one day...
