I raised a similar point in my blog. I'd definitely like to see Eclipse
as quick and nimble as Emacs (mind you Emacs isn't all that speedy but
it is nimble). And users who have large projects on slow file systems
who really just want a good editor with all the fancy source navigation
features like open declaration and content assist need this as well.
I'm hoping we can do something on the resource front to help make it
easier to launch eclipse on individual files, just like a text editor.
Doug.

Subject: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Some food for thought
Two interesting and thoughtful blog posts from developers who
have [1] left Eclipse
<http://particletree.com/features/eclipse-to-textmate-an-ideological-cha
nge/> for TextMate and loves it and [2] from someone who points out
that few developers use all of the functionality
<http://www.ericdelabar.com/2008/06/hammering-screws.html> provided.
Money quote:
The simplicity of the application and the ease of its
extensibility is too inviting to ignore and I'm very excited about
seeing how far I can push this little editor. It's beautiful,
lightweight and speedy-attributes that weren't associated with my old
Eclipse IDE.
They may be unscientific data points, but they are also
thoughtful and reasonable points of view.
I am still personally hoping the IDE portion of E4 is targeted
at being Faster. Smaller. Simpler.
