I couldn't disagree more. I type 80 wpm and have experience with Epsilon,
vi, Brief, and Codewright. And I abandoned all of those for the IDE. A
text editor is simply NOT the most important tool we have, and hasn't been
ever since GUI programming took off. Integrated resource editing and
debugging easily trump this. And wait until you design a UI with
Expression Blend. You'd better like your mouse. A lot. The Microsoft IDE
team knows this. You are no longer their target customer.

Maybe I am one of Joe's "don't know any better" people but I like the VS
editor. I was never so miserable as when I was coding on Unix with Emacs
(except when I tried to use vi over telnet). I do a lot of
cross-platform work, and these days I always do the development in VS
and run the code through CVS to get it to the Unix/Linux machines (which
are at my customer's location).

I like using the mouse. When I am looking at some code (trying figure
how to fix it..) I like to sit back and use the mouse only. When I am
ready to code, then I sit forward and type (two fingers I'm afraid).
