I've been tempted to switch to Eclipse from Emacs, mostly because Java
is better for writing structured code than Lisp; I'm getting tired of
fighting obscure Lisp code in Emacs.

(Yes, I know that means I should go all the way and switch to GPS. But
Eclipse has far more capability than GPS; it's much closer to Emacs).

This discussion makes me want to wait Just a Little Longer :).
