Hmm. Well, Java is my day job, and I've been using Eclipse for a year or so.
For me, the refactorings work just fine. Now, I've not used EMACS, so I
can't do a comparison, but Eclipse's refactorings are a *whole* lot better
that doing refactoring with a 'dumb' text editor.

The auto-completion and so on are also great. If you work with Java, and
aren't hairy-chested enough for EMACS, give Eclipse a try. You won't regret
it.

Unless you have less than 256MB, that is. ;-)
