What exactly are you missing?

If you install Shout and eCompletion then there's syntax highlighting
and auto-completion,
Beyond that, your methods should be short enough that there's not a
whole lot of need for most of the features of a text editor like Emacs
or Vim...

That's not to say that there isn't room for improvement, but so far I
have personally not found much lacking, and I am used to using Vim and
Eclipse for development.
About the only issue I've found is that tab won't indent selected
lines - it just replaces them with a tab.
