I was as a Java developer reliant on an IDE. It integrates such features  
as SVN, refactoring, Maven2, remote debugging, powerful code completion  
including turning the letters "MSO" into "MySpecialObject" using  
camel-case matching, an embedded compiler capable of quick recompiling  
when you save a file, warnings while you are editing, powerful search for  
things like "write access to field 'x'", ... the list goes on.
