Well, installing Eclipse is very easy. But I completely understand you; we are
(and I am one of the first !!) all reluctant to learn other tools... It makes
me think about the last post of R. O'Keefe explaining why people don't move to
languages such as Mercury. People are satisfied with the (poor) languages they
use 90 % of the time...

You swear that you won't ask for Zoltan or Fergus to add the new 
functionality you miss when it happens :-))

Well, I think the success of emacs is partly due to the fact that some people 
are not ready to live with that 10 % of time where there are not satisfied with 
their editor. But, of course, if you use vim ... ;-)
