In that case, I think it would depend on the task at hand. For refactoring code and moving massive swaths of text around, stock Eclipse would win. For making small patches and writing new code from scratch, VIM would probably win.
I am referring to software such as viplugin. You're still in eclipse, so anything you do in eclipse without the plugin still works, but you also get Vi-style editing.
The point here is that the discussion is about input styles, not "IDE vs Classical Editor".
