I actually suspect that might be one the main factors that make people keep using Emacs/Vim versus big IDEs. You see, one scenario is where the vast majority of development one does is in a single language/platform, like Java/J2EE, for which there is a strong IDE offering. Here I think it is a bit foolish to not use an IDE like Eclipse-JDT. But another scenario, where one programs in several different languages, and most of them don't have a good support from IDEs (which is the case more often than not, especially for emerging languages), or have good support, but from different IDEs/editors. Here it can be cumbersome to switch from one editor to another, one development tool to another, so you gain a lot in productivity by using the same familiar editor, and becoming proficient in it. Overall this might actually compensate the productivity you lose by not using the best IDE/editor for each particular language. -- Bruno Medeiros
