Any editor that is less responsive than notepad is useless to me, and I'm far from alone on that. Thus, we don't go anywhere near Eclipse, VS.NET, or anything along those lines (bunch of bloated garbage...and probably designed to get developers to buy fancier hardware and thus end up develop apps that require their users to buy fancier hardware).
