I don't do a whole lot of software (got caught up on the hardware side of things), but one thing I'm noticing is that nobody makes extensive use of "advanced" IDE features as in eclipse or visual Studio.

Is this personal taste, or has it to do with the scope of the projects these guys are working on?

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion unless I observed how people use it in real-time.

For verbose languages, you can't beat auto-completion and auto-import.

And you can get both in vim, emacs, etc. The lines between those and full IDEs are blurry with the right (or wrong) amount of plugins.

The autocompletion in both vim and emacs was always significantly worse than any IDE-based ones, no matter the plugin I tried (for C, C++, Python or Go). Most of them are pretty much limited to ctags with no context matching, others simply died on projects beyond trivial.

I never managed to get it working in vim, but you can get pretty decent auto Go completion (with Go oracle) in Emacs.
