IMVVVHO, Eclipse is like a "graphical" Emacs.  It uses a lot more memory,
demands an structure that makes you put your projects under its structure
instead of using any layout that you wish.  Integrating it with Subversion,
CVS or other VCS is as hard as with Emacs -- if not harder for some VCS...

But, it is just me and I use Emacs for something like 7 years now... ;-)
