                I don't actually use many of the "big" IDE features
                (e.g. debugger), but a few of the smaller ones I find
                invaluable. Syntax checking is a big one (although there
                can be some limitations if you have a complex library
                setup), as well as making it easy to navigation through
                large projects. I know vim and others *can* be set up to
                do this, but Eclipse does it all by default, plus I'm
                used to it.<br>
