Thoughts on how to avoid the IDE? (Linux)

I have to use Processing for a class. I'm excited to get into it, but one thing I'm not excited about is the IDE. No offense, but I already have a text editor I love. Several of them, in fact. And Processing, while very nice, can't shake a stick at vim, IntelliJ, or
Sublime Text 2.
Searching around so far, all evidence indicates that the processing command only launches the IDE and does not have any flags that let you run code.
I've considered leaving the IDE open just to run code, but, sadly, it does not seem to watch the filesystem to pick up changes made by other editors. [ EDIT - I just found
this thread that gives the workaround for that bug ]
Maybe I can write my own script? Can the compiler/interpreter/whatever be invoked programmatically?
