MS and Oracle's big dev tools - who needs 'em? - Viva Emacs and Vim

I tend to stick to Vim for everything Java, Scala, Python etc. :vimgrep along with :tabedit works nicely. To help with nested path I tend to have paths for my project setup in .zshrc so I can do :e $PROJECT_SRC/foo/bar/x.java or $PROJECT_TEST/foo/bar/simple.java.

vim + terminator[1] + build tool (ant, maven, sbt [2], scons...) works very nicely for me.

Two reasons I stay away from IDEs: a) I find them horribly unresponsive b) Being used to Vim for the last 10 or so years I find I am very quick with it.

I gave you karma for your use of Terminator, and of course, VIM. I find these tools immensely helpful to my development.

With dual 24" Monitors I span terminator across both screens, split horizontal once and vertically on each screen. Modified keybindings make switching between terminals so simple. Add Synergy for seamless access to my Windows system, I can't find a better set up.
