IntelliJ IDEA and gvim. I use gvim literally all the time. I have an icon on
my dock for "Open with gvim" that I can just drop files on. Very handy.

The nice thing about gvim (or vi in general I guess), is that while there
are a lot of commands, way more than anyone would be expected to learn all
in one sitting, the basic commands to get you started are pretty easy. i,
ESC, x, :wq are enough to get you started. And eventually you get tired of
deleting one character at a time, so you go lookup other delete commands,
and find dw to delete a word, and dd to delete a line. Then you figure out
that the d* commands cut, and p pastes. Then, when you get tired of doing
ddP to copy via cut-n-paste, you find yy copies ("yanks") without cutting.
You get tired of cutting one line at a time, so you find that prefixing any
command with a number makes it operate that many times.

Anyways, I could go on forever, but the point is it's not actually that
hard.

Oh, and IDEA is awesome also. Well worth the $$$. I just wish it had better
Scala support.
