I do use Hg with Eclipse extensively, but without the plugin. In fact,
one of the major reasons for my adoption of Hg at the time was its `hg
addrem -s` command which makes me independent of IDE plugins. I can
now freely refactor and then have Hg figure it out after the fact. I
had so much trouble with svn integration and refactoring that this
feels like heaven.
