Actually, I was just joking. No "belittlement" was intended. I apologize if it
came across that way. I am one of the weird guys that actually gets pretty good
use out of vi. I think it's best to use whatever tool works for you. If you
can fly through a keyboard-based app, then do it. I've seen people who can use
a mouse faster than I can type. To me it's pretty cool that the development
tool is not really an issue like it was in other environments. The people in my
group use whatever they want and we have no compatibility problems. Anyway,
perhaps my post was out of line. I apologize.

Why are you trying to belittle the above mentioned combo ?
Have you actually tried using emacs, JDE (Java Development Environment
for emacs) and jakarta-ant *before* writing your smart remark comparing
emacs to vi ?
It may be out of fashion but *any* keyboard interface certainly is
faster than whatever WIMP (WIndows Mouse Pointer) interface you use.
Of course you have to know all your keyboard shortcuts... ;-)
Anyway, I don't wish to start a religious war on development tools.
Everyone has his/her preferences and most certainly for good reason.
Best,
Michael
