I can only reply very generally (I don't develop git - I develop php and use git). However, I have tried to use Eclipse on a number of occasions and have always drifted back to Vim. With a bit of learning can can do most of the stuff that an IDE does, usually faster and with less fuss. However, the killer for me is that you can access your development box in an emergency over a slow dialup line and vim will get you out of trouble - your fancy, resource-hogging IDE will not.
