There are a whole bunch of reasons I can cite for using emacs/jde that are of major importance that you can present and not get in a tit-for-tat about features. There are bigger reasons than just that. I recently went through this cycle myself, and totally punted all other IDE's altogether and went to emacs and jde cold, because there was so much justification for it. Our java user group (Orange County, CA) had a pretty good thread on this recently, and I would be happy to recap for you if needed. BradO
