Wow I found this to be really valuable.
Thanks a lot from myself and on behalf of those who have just recently

I totally agree here.
I have done java programming in Eclipse and there is nothing apart from 
inteliJ which is as good enough.

I have also quit Java for a long time.
I use Python for all my programming and Emacs just rocks for that with 
Python-mode (major ) and Elpy, company-jedi and electric-pair (minor 
modes ).
Happy hacking.
