[python-uk] Eclipse + Pydev?

[Dave Kirby]

Does anyone have experience of using Eclipse + Pydev with the Eclim
[1] plug that runs Vim inside Eclipse?

I have occasionally been tempted to try Eclipse for the benefits that
Pydev allegedly offer, but Eclipse's lack of a decent (i.e. Vim)
editor has put me off [2].   Can you combine Eclim and Pydev and get
the benefits of Pydev in a real editor?

[2] that and the fact that last time I tried Eclipse it brought my PC
to a grinding halt and forced me to reboot - a common occurrence with
Java bloatware on my system.
