are features supported out of the box by other top end editors : proper
syntax/semantic based completion and code navigation that works "out of
the box" (cedet one day I hope), mixed mode editing (a must despite many
purists sneering at it)and decent java support to the level of eclipse.

To say its already too complex is silly. You only need to be aware of
the features YOU need.
