I installed eclipse. Didn't like it.

That describes Komodo, apart from the incremental regexp. It may even be programmable 
in Python (I have never tried) (if you can call using python programming - ugh)

It probably also describes kdevelop and lots of ther tools. I don't think you have 
captured the essence of emacs. But then again, I don't think you have to - I don't 
know many people left who actually use emacs to edit their code through choice - I use 
it when I on an ssh connection, and I always use the terminal version not the X 
version. If I really want to edit stuff in earnest I use Komodo or BBEdit or some such 
other tool. Now this may be because I can't be bothered to program up emacs to work 
the way I want it to, but there again I don't have time to do that so why not use 
something that works in a fashion close to how I would like it to?
