In my case, none of the above,
All the IDE I have tried(Visual Cafe, JBuilder)
are incredible slower compare to emacs(I have a pIII 850 btw).
Do not have the editing power than emacs does,
the emacs key strokes binding does not do it for me.
They tend to crash often, are memory hugs, ....
and I could keep going.
In brief, JDE offers most of the features(or more in some cases)
of graphical IDE's plus the ability to fully use emacs.
