I know that Eclipse does a lot and that these feature simply require some 
memory, but on a box with 512 MB RAM you can do a lot of sophisticated tasks, 
like professional image/audio/video editing. We are talking about text files 
here.

Actually you can't tell anyone: "you can't use this IDE with less than 1 GB of 
RAM".

Bye
