Does vi:

* compile your code as you type it in
* highlight errors and give you two-click auto-fix
* auto-complete names of classes and methods in distant libraries
* show you the documentation for a function in a popup as soon as you
type the name
* run your code on the device
* let you stop the program and see variable states
* take screenshots off the device

etc.... and much much more.

Seriously, I've been a vi user (indeed addict) for 27 years, I
resisted the Emacs trend for as long as I could, but Eclipse is so
much more.  It just takes care of an amazing amount of stuff that you
otherwise have to do by hand.  You will simply be way more productive,
and spend your time thinking about the code instead of sifting through
compiler output dumps.  Eclipse isn't perfect, but it's pretty darned
good, and Android is very well integrated into it.

(BTW, I'm using Europa, not Ganymede (the latest).  Don't know if that
means anything, I'm running on a pre-release OS, and I found Europa
more stable.)
