(You think I'm _that_ easily offended?!)  I'm just enjoying the war
stories, and trying to guess how old everyone is.  When I start
worrying about the long list of things I have yet to learn, it's
comforting to know that most of you have at least a few years' head
start. ;)

I'm enjoying IDEA (though sometimes it's so intutitive it's scary...
and occasionally it's just plain embarrassing when it points out
something I should have known better than to do in the first place.) 
But I still use jEdit more than anything else.  So far I haven't seen
an IDE that matches jEdit's HyperSearch (IDEA only wants to search
source code) or that uses BeanShell for macros.

There are times when I like the suggestions and the ability to jump
from usage to interface to implementation with a few keystrokes... and
other times when I just want to be left alone.  With both jEdit and
IDEA set to auto-reload changed files, I go back and forth depending
on my mood.

I also don't ever want to be in a situation where I can't edit with
vi, construct a classpath and compile code at the command line if I
_really_ have to.  For a reality check, I go back to comp.lang.java
and see if I can answer any questions. :)
