[PD-dev] pd and eclipse

[Kyle Klipowicz]

Hmmm I use vi for terminal stuff, but never tried Vim.

If it actually has menus and integrated cut+paste w/ the window
manager, that would be swell!

I never took the time to learn Emacs because I already had a foothold
in Vi. That, and it seems kinda bloated.
