I can understand people using text editors (a la Vim, Emacs) if they've been using them for donkeys years and are extremely proficient and productive with them, additionally for making quick changes to files from the terminal.

However, why any developer would reach for one of these tools now when working on application development is beyond me (other than to feel like a 1337 OG hax0r of course)
