I agree.....When training new Java programmers, I start them out on Textpad.
IDE's provide great shortcuts, but do not help you understand the language.
Alot of programmers change jobs frequently, so locking yourself into an IDE
is not a very good idea.
Our solution = Textpad + Ant + Command Prompt + MS Visual SourceSafe

I think this is generally true for experienced developers. I tend to steer
clear of all the Java IDEs since I'm at the stage in my career where
debuggers aren't necessary... and I'd rather code than waste my time
learning an IDE that probably won't be around in 2 or 3 years (they tend to
become obsolete rather quickly nowadays).
For me, Ant + TextPad + DOS prompt + WinCVS is very potent combination.
