I'm amazed how much of editing he actually does by hand (like growing/shrinking indentation) and mouse. That sort of switching between actual coding and lexical editing would kill my flow.
Yeah, he's switching eclipse tabs by using the mouse! Another reminder to not obsess over development tool choice, and just get things done.
I think I spend most of my time reading, navigating and debugging code.
IDE developers should do more heavy lifting to support these use-cases imho.
For me personally it is interesting to see that Notch seems to prefer Dart Editor (Built on the Eclipse platform) over something like Intellij IDEA or Webstorm ( https://www.dartlang.org/tools/webstorm/ ).
He comes from a java heavy background. I would expect him to already be comfortable with Eclipse.

Didn't know that, makes sense, thanks for the pointer.
The issue wasn't so much that, they were taking copyright seriously. Its how they handled taking copyright seriously. Their practice was Draconian, even if the streamer owned the copy right, they still have to appeal to have their content posted. Even twitch took down their own videos explain how this system works, due to copyrighted music. This has been going on for >2 weeks without much change.
Isn't this similar to youtube? It seems that all services end of with draconian policies when they get big enough.
The difference is YouTube is on at least a couple magnitudes larger scale. Furthermore, YouTube doesn't create content and host that, it only hosts the content, allowing for a much easier way to share copy-written material. On Twitch, the things they are muting are recorded videos of streams of their own site. Note the difference here. There's not an easy way to take say a movie and upload it to twitch VoDs in a reasonable amount of time. Lastly, the entire VoD is muted, even if its background music, game music, etc. and most of the time the key sound element is the streamer himself/herself, which is completely lost with muting system. Also why can they not just respond to DMCA requests? There is nothing that has been shown that they are receiving an inordinate amount of DMCA requests that would be impossible to handle with a more refined approach.

I normally use IDEA for Java, but the Dart Editor works fine for Dart. The Eclipse foundation it's built on doesn't show through too badly so you don't have to mess with perspectives or anything like that.

I'm currently switching between IDEA 14 (preview edition) and Dart Editor but using IDEA more and more.
IDEA 14's Dart plugin is further along than the one from IDEA 13 :)
Watching Notch hacking on the Ludum Dare competition is such a comforting experience - to me he is the Bob Ross of game development. He also seems to end up developing the same thing over and over again with different shades of green on the leaves. Even though you may don't like his style, you have to admire his pragmatism, productivity and humbleness.
That's so dismissive, Bob Ross was the running ironic joke of the painting world.
