You mention Vi, but as an Emacs user one of the things that eased the transition to Eclipse for me was a setting that enabled all of the commands I already knew (google emacs mode). Also Eclipse has a great set of keyboard shortcuts to do everything, I normally do my whole workflow without the mouse being on my desk.
For Java work an IDE is essential. For C/C++ I still use Emacs but having Javadocs integrated right there and a nice debugger and refactoring is key.

- jrockway 18y agoEclipse's emacs mode is nothing like Emacs. For example, it binds undo to F9, leaving C-/ (the emacs binding for undo) as "comment this line". WTF. Of course, once you fix the bindings, Eclipse's undo doesn't work anything like Emacs' undo. It's not Emacs, it's Eclipse with C-a (but not M-n) and C-e.
