I said that somewhat jokingly as I know that there are a ton of features
that IDEs do provide. I just really hate them because they tend to be
bloated and I tend to type faster than the autocomplete. Also, when
working with a laptop or Linux command line from time to time, it's good
to not have to rely on a mouse or software that needs to be installed.

I hated eclim. I found Vrapper to be much nicer as it just gave me most
of Vim without doing things in a strange manner.
