Thanks Jamie,

I wish I could say Java was my target market, but unfortunately, I'm more focused on javascript. The app will of course work with Java, and it will be open-source so maybe somebody will inplement some killer Java features.

Have you tried SublimeText or LightTable? Did those not fit the bill as lighter than Eclipse but better than Vim?

I have tried neither of those two...I have heard good things both though, maybe I will make the time to give the a try.

A Javascript IDE would be great, I remember working on some Javascript a couple of years ago and being frustrated at even getting basic autocomplete to work in any tool (Vim was the closest but lacked any context). And +1 Open Source. I look forward to giving it a try.
