Mike I'm a old vi' guy too but a good IDE makes programmers much more productive. If you don't use the GUI palletes at least you've got... 1. Colour coded code; this is a big bonus. 2. Auto indent, brace, bracket etc. 3. Visual class browser. 4. Integrated debugger. 5. Integrated help ; for Java no need to have multiple browser windows open for docs. 'vi' is okay for whipping up some 'C'/shell scripts but once you get used to an IDE you'll see the difference. Also for Java I find Wintel builds under Symantec many orders of magnitutde faster than command line JDK builds on my Ultrasparc. /James
