I do a lot of work on headless servers (no GUI), so I'm pretty much
limited to either Emacs or VIM, or develop on the desktop and move JAR
files around the network (pain) in to use Eclipse (which, IMO, has
become an outstanding IDE over the years).
I've been using VIM, but Emacs is the clear editor of choice for Erlang
development, which I'm doing more of. And since Emacs has pretty deep
support for everything else, I'm gonna make the switch.
We'll see how the Java stuff goes. As far as Python, the basic
python-mode is already an improvement over what I was using in VIM.
