I've successfully deployed YouTube Direct using the default build.xml
file, with a few changes for my system, i.e. {sdk.dir} pointing
to the directory that contains appengine-java-sdk-1.6.4. I'm using
just ant and emacs. I've also installed the GAE plugin for Eclipse,
which took quite a few downloads. So my question is, what is the
big advantage in using Eclipse in working with the Java implemention
of GAE?

For all the reasons that IDEs were invented. As-you-type compilation,
refactoring, code completion, integrated debugging... seriously, if
you're still writing code in a text editor, you are at *best* 1/3 as
productive as an equivalently competent coder with an IDE.

IMO, an IDE is a must-have tool for any serious development project. I haven't used Emacs in a very long time, but unless a miracle of some sort has occurred, it can't even remotely compare.
Eclipse is even more amazing because it is free.
