Does anyone have experience of using Eclipse + Pydev with the Eclim [1] plug that runs Vim inside Eclipse?
I have occasionally been tempted to try Eclipse for the benefits that Pydev allegedly offer, but Eclipse's lack of a decent (i.e. Vim) editor has put me off [2]. Can you combine Eclim and Pydev and get the benefits of Pydev in a real editor? Dave [1] www.eclim.org [2] that and the fact that last time I tried Eclipse it brought my PC to a grinding halt and forced me to reboot - a common occurrence with Java bloatware on my system.
