You're editing text files when you code, I see little reason to run a big bloated GUI just so you can point & click and slow down your entire workflow.
IDEs hide so much from you, and limit your toolset, why would you handicap yourself? -

what really stops me from using Vim is that IMHO debugging in IDEs is much more comfortable then in Vim or Emacs -
@mak420 Well, I work primarily in C, so I just use GDB on the command line. I find it's a faster workflow, but each to their own.

@mak420 There's also a host of other tools at your disposal that you can use without having to rely on plugins to your IDE with not so perfect integration

If you haven't tried IntelliJ, you are missing a great developer experience.
IntelliJ is very keyboard centric and generally keeps out of the way of a developer.
The static analysis is invaluable and so is the ability to have a streamlined workflow.

I just hate Eclipse with passion. Stopped using it when I couldn't even get it's package manager work without crashing it.
