I can't speak for you.  I find my competence is maximized when I'm
using Emacs; others find other sets of tools preferable.  The code
doesn't care what tool you're best with.

- There are people who will swear by vi + ctags.

- There are some who still use QED.  (Albeit not for this project...)

  (These would be extreme Unix partisans who think that the move from
  ed to vi was a Bad Thing...  :-))

- Others prefer some form of Emacs.

- One of my coworkers I think uses pico for most things; he's not keen
  on either of the typical Unix editors.

As a quite wide-ranging rule, a worker who blames his tools for things
not working tends to be *spectacularly* incompetent.  If you pick
tools you're not highly familiar with, you'll be liable to fall into
that sort of problem :-(.  Pick an editor you are intimately familiar
with, and you'll be as well off as you can be.  Your errors will be
your own :-).
