A good programmer will contribute to writing good code. A bad programmer will not.

A good editor will help a programmer do what the are going to do already, quicker and more accurately. A bad editor will slow progress and amplify error.

If you think that you need a barrier to impede your ability to get things out of your head and into reality to prevent you from slipping out garbage then I think you are just a bad programmer.And not just because you cant pound out the correct solution on the first try but because you think you can if you just think about it long enough. Any writer will tell you the key to writing is just write. Get yiur ideas out and on to paper. Fix them later during editing and revisons. And coding is just like writing in that sense. Get your code into the editor then revise, improve and optimize. Most of all let your editor help you do these things.
