I use the J IDE only for plots, labs and graphical. The rest of the time I run J under emacs. This is not a criticism of the J IDE, which seems fine. It is just that I use emacs for all my other editing, the commands are hardwired in my brain, and you do not need to use the mouse.
The J mode in emacs does some syntax coloring and it prompts to save a buffer before executing it. Emacs can send a variety of signals to the J process, although the only one I regularly use is KILL.
