What are the efficiencies afforded by Emacs or Vim vs Eclipse? [closed]

Vim / Emacs

  • Very fast/efficient code writing
  • Low memory footprint
  • Quick access to command line
  • Infinite possibilities through scripting/plugins
  • Never have to leave the keyboard

Eclipse

  • Full-featured IDE for many languages
  • Great refactoring support

All of them

  • Cross-platform
  • Feature rich
  • Extensible through plugins

I typically find myself writing volumes of code through vim and performing debugging tasks through my IDE. Familiarity with the code base is certainly a factor, as an IDE is a great tool for jumping around and learning unfamiliar source code.
