It might help to make up a list of features that people typically enjoy in
IDEs. from that you or someone could make a quickref for how you accomplish
those things in Eclipse or how you can learn to do them in emacs or any
other editor.

I've been trying to soup up vim to have the same features I like from

anyway, here is a gist I started with an outline of ideas. are those the
kinds of things you want to know how to do?
