Agree. I was using jEdit for Java but now I'm completely hooked on 
Eclipse's constant compilation and "code sense", or whatever you want to 
call it. Code completion etc. plugins in jEdit have always been buggy 
and don't AFAIK come anywhere near the capabilities of Eclipse.

On the other hand, the complete lack of usable XML editing in Eclipse is 
a scandal. I think about joining their dev list just to ask them what 
the hell they're smoking on that one. jEdit absolutely kicks Eclipse's 
ass here.
