Since OSGI is essentially a library and application framework and Maven/Tycho can be used simply as a build system, the IDE has now become a harness for utilizing those tools and could be replaced. You could use vi/notepad and a file system navigator to edit the code and manage the source files, and run Maven for routine compilation as well as builds. However, the benefits of an IDE are many and you lose many productivity enhancements by moving to a vanilla text editor.
If you are asking about using an IDE other than Eclipse, then you would have to make sure it could understand the infrastructure of the RAP project, which may be easy when simply using RWT and not all of RAP including the workbench. Your IDE would need to understand or you would have to integrate the functionality of target platforms and OSGI and Equinox metadata processing to name a few things, and certainly would be nice to process java code and binaries for navigation, outlines, and incremental compilation which any respectable IDE would do.
