Large IDEs like VisualStudio, Eclipse or NetBeans are
sometimes a bit slow. This is not surprising, since they
are often written in Java. But they offer powerful
functions for compiling and debugging, and they have
syntax highlighting, code completion and support
version control systems like SVN. I can not debug a
program with Notepad, Emacs, VI or JEdit. Who
wants to use VI anyway?

It's directly proportional to how gawd awful languages and their
management become. Basically programming environments have gotten so bad
that You Need Help!
I will say, however, there's an interesting new breed of editors that are
halfway between "text editors" and IDEs. TextMate is absfab on the mac,
and the jedit program is getting lots of love.
