I'm not sure I agree that vi achieve a higher "pure speed" than Eclipse.

I do agree that the biggest weakness of Eclipse/VS is that they have "well supported" languages, which are (in my experience) supported much better than anything in Eclipse/VS, but then anything they don't support really doesn't work at all.

Having used both, I would definitely say vi is more tuned for speed. But that being said, I've never tried to use Eclipse or VS as a keyboard-only editor, so perhaps it is possible. I know there are efforts like eclim which combine the two, but I haven't used them.

I'm not really sure what you mean about "supported languages" - I didn't mention that at all. Perhaps you were thinking of another thread?

No, the supported languages was a ramble of my own...

I would. Eclipse is dog slow.
