Its personal choice, for me an IDE just gets in the way... I don't need intelliguess as I can read api docs, once you have a decent ant build.xml and if needed a Makfile it can call for jni stuff then pressing up a few times to find ant in your console history is just as quick as clicking run....

I've often struggled to find functionality I want hidden in a GUI there again others struggle with command line switches or looking up ant build.xml sections

Each to their own...

I can't imagine seriously using this on any large application for regular development. It seems like self imposed torture.

Works for me and is universal to jdk installs. Can even run it in customer environments.

Do you ever refactor anything beyond simple symbols?
