When did you last use Eclipse for C/C++ work? Refactoring support was added in the release last summer and there were substantial improvements both the speed and accuracy of parser. This is still being actively developed and they'll be a new major release at the end of June.

From the US or employees of US based companies? And you have to wonder if that's to do with existing market dominance of US companies...
As investment grows in these areas then the infrastructure with improve, catching up with the education levels etc in the EU and US and then they'll be just as innovative as those countries. Of course by that point I suspect they won't be so much cheaper and outsourcing will be less of an issue.
"Why not just get a faster computer,"
Power consumption? Heat? Noise levels? Size?
"... because if they had a clue, they would leverage Eclipse..."
I guess they've got a clue then, they've been shipping an Eclipse based IDE for 2+ years now and Wind River are/very/ active in the development of CDT. In fact the CDT project lead works for them now. Admittedly they do some stuff in a slightly non-standard way (e.g. not the way vanilla CDT does it) but that's with good reason and allows them a far more flexible build system than the standard CDT project model allows.

Of course you could put some Eclipse into your vim and (maybe) get the best of both worlds. http://eclim.sourceforge.net/
