> I say it all the time, but I think a lot of power vi/emacs users have not touched a modern IDE in a long time.

Watch as my eyes roll out of my head, onto the floor, and then out the door.

Why is it that you believe the only reason why a vi/emacs user could believe those environments are faster to edit in is because they don't use IDE's?

The worst part is that most vi/emacs users actually DO have experience in both environments, whereas most of the people who want to claim vi/emacs isn't any faster don't. Yet they want to present themselves as an authority.

And I'm one of the people who refuse to use vim emulators in IDE's because they're never quite right (and never integrate well with the IDE).
