I just installed it. It looks pretty good, but it has a few
deal-breakers for me. The big ones are not being able to see more than
one document at once, and no macro creation capabilities. It also
doesn't seem to understand how to build real Java projects. So it
doesn't suit my needs, but it looks pretty good.

Have you ever loved anything for more than a few days that you didn't
dislike any aspect of it?
For the record, the keyboard behavior is completely reconfigurable (I
redefine a good chunk of it myself), and I believe there's a menu option
somewhere to use Windows look and feel.
