IDE's getting in the way - Eclipse

For some time I was all for a nice IDE, something with all my tools neatly organized in one package. After years of using them and then going back to a good text editor (like Textmate or Kate) and a shell I now really hate them. I have to use one at work, due to the packaged emulator, which is horrible. It's built on top of eclipse which is bloated, and provides no improvments over a text editor. So bundle that with a slow, unresponsive GUI and horrible emulator and you have a great enviroment to work in!

Note: I am not including Visual Studio in this rant

Anyone have good stories of IDE's ?
