I mean the flow is:

   program, program, program

Just working on the text. Whereas trying to use refactoring:

   program, deal with idiotic IDE, find where you were, program

Quick, you see what you are doing, and you don't get jolted out of the
zone. Excellent.

Of course it helps to have a good text editor, which have lost ground
to monolithic IDEs. I liked Zap, but haven't seen many RISC OS
machines about recently. ;( Using Netbeans is so painful to actually
edit code, that I end up using Solaris vi (arrow keys don't work in
insert mode).
