Well, you always get to weigh the effort of rebuilding a toolchain vs working within the existing clunky toolchain. However, I daresay that reimplementing everything that eclipse does for java is no trivial matter and for a day-long project, not worth my effort.
Though not everything can be done with different development tools and AHK is a versatile swiss army knife. It can also do things like hotkey to make any window stay on top, send window resize message to a runaway or disobedient window, or be hotkey window clicks for games. I use it in stormworks to make my own shortcuts to edit / wiring / mirror buttons since they're 54 inches apart, and hopefully this all shows where AHK's versatility shines.
