title: Tired of Java IDEs, Need simple and basic alternative
body: <p>I am really happy that I got my work in Java programming, and I am doing it since last 3 yrs.<br>
  And I am netbeans user, and worked on eclipse for sometime (4 months)..<br>
  Now I am tired on IDE's and its issues..  </p>
  
  <p><strong>few issues are:</strong>  </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Doesn't work on slow computers - sometimes i have to work on slow computer..  </li>
  <li>You can't work without them, like I am trying to work on javascript, but it was hard for me because of no code-completion support  </li>
  <li>Many times does not support all the features, but other IDE does, which will make you to try other IDE and results in spending lots of time behind tooling... like I started using AspectJ but there is not much aspectJ support on netbeans.. so decided to try eclipse..  but changing IDE is another pain point.. </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I heard that many programmers does not use IDE's they just need text-editors (code-coloring/navigation), And i think its cool, and productive (overall), as their need of tooling is not much, so able to adopt new technologies/frameworks fast..</p>
  
  <p><strong>So, what should i do to shift from Java IDE's to text-editor only world.. ?
  And what are famous advanced text-editor (free/open-source) available ??</strong> </p>
  
  <p>Few steps towards console-world I have already taken..  </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Now using Maven, and running from console always.. </li>
  <li>Doing SVN checkin/checkout from console.. But still it hard to resolve conflict</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>EDIT: I am using Linux &amp; (sometimes Windows).  </p>
  
  <p>Cheers,</p>
