No I didnt.  I hot deploy the jsp out to tomcat.

Well, you didn't mention it, unless it was implied in "Click save". If
so, I apologize. :)

Agree.

This makes them almost equal.

Exactly. Then again, they were "almost equal" when Eclipse was in the
"lead" as well.

Then you are not developing "enterprise" level production systems that
need to go through a proper QA cycle with load testing and integration
testing.

True. And I do understand (and yearn for) the proper QA cycle and all
that. But sometimes the bosses say "We're losing $X,000 each minute
while this is broken... fix it!" You patch it quick, then put the
solid fix through QA. There's room for both.

And yes, of course you can edit java files with VI.  I did it for a
number of years before eclipse was released.

And I didn't say you couldn't. In fact, thought the thread did start
with Java, I was thinking more of a different technology (which shall
remain nameless) I'm forced into using right now that *can't* be
edited outside it's bloated "IDE", since there's no plain text
representation. The horror. But anyways, my point was a general one,
not about Java particularly.
