I live in my editor too, but I never have a window up long enough for it to fully initialize into memory ;o) I tend to pull a file up, make a bug fix, close it out and go kill off another bug. Of course, I do keep new files up for quite a while usually. Maybe I need to have a regular editor and a bug hunting editor... Oh, right, and the other reason I never switched fully over...
