I was thinking about back to vim, it starts so fast and has everything you need in tree letters, and the completion works out of box. I never get the completion really working with emacs. I remember that was coding with Lua headers and the completion crashed :( I just give up on it, who needs auto completion..
I'll give vim a second chance :)

emacs and vim are both very powerful editors, each with their own pros
and cons, but both very suitable for developing code!
I don't think it's a good idea for a boss to force his devs into using
some GUI IDE like Eclipse.
Personally, I don't like it because it is slow (Hi Java!) and does too much
stuff which I do not need when writing and debugging non-Java code.
If you are already used to Emacs and gdb mode, that's great.
Recently I am more and more using (g)vim and discovered a nice vim plugin:
NERDTree https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree (A tree explorer plugin)
Oh and there is also cgdb: https://github.com/cgdb/cgdb
Cheers,
