I use Eclipse 3.3 with the EPIC plugin (and also Subclipse and some
others). I also occasionally use jEdit and vim for different things.

I like features like being able to hit F3 on a function name and (most
of the time) get the definition opened correctly (in whatever file it
was defined in, even if it was an explicit EXPORT from a module and
I'd have to resort to grep to find it manually). Also integrated
syntax checking as you type, integrated perltidy, perlcritic and
perldoc (although these are not perfect, they're steadily improving).

I know all these things can be accomplished in emacs, vim or even
jEdit, but I'm too lazy to implement them myself. Eclipse is a beast,
I do turn off the "Perl Auto Builder" because in large projects (show
me a small one!) it gets very over excited.
