I thought Eclipse was great for Java, but so far I haven't been to happy with it for anything else. For Perl development (and PHP, when forced to touch that stuff) I use, as you mentioned, vim with an assortment of command line utilities (mainly sed, grep, and awk).

So far I haven't found a compelling reason to try an IDE, so I don't know if there's any great new features I'm missing. I'm betting the IDEs have features that will do everything I need, but I just don't want to take the time to learn how to use them. Plus there's the advantage of being able to log on to any Unix/Linux machine anywhere and be able to start developing without worrying about getting your preferred tool installed, or learning to use an alternate.

I would like to find a nice VisualStudio.net style IDE with a Drag'n'drop GUI creator (for Perl or Java, or any language for that matter), but I haven't yet. But, as I'm writing this, I have ZooZ installing, so hopefully that'll work well.

EDIT: ZooZ is pretty awesome :)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
