Besides, even though PyDev's indentation got a little better it isn't as smart
as Emacs'.  Being a language where indentation matters, I find Emacs much more
productive and this only feature is a major problem to "migrate" from Emacs to
Eclipse. 

But, who knows when Eclipse gets better it will have the power needed to
implement the same set of indentation rules...
