IDE versus Text Editor?
hs: to increase productivity, you may need to 'do without'do without mouse and hard-to-reach keys (F1-12, arrows, numpads)i found ide is about using mouse and using those keys (like F5? to run) etc ... but i didn't use much ide shrugin vim, you can take those keys plus backspace, alt and even esc (i map it to ^C because ^] hurts, not because of emacs) ... also xmodmap caps to ctrlemacs still requires at least a meta key so that adds complexity.  vim cheats by using modes :Dwith fewer keys, the intensity = (strokes / #key) is high and that may lead to higher productivityoh and of course, touch typing really helps especially the often untrained part like numbers and symbols.i used 'typing tutor for mac' and trained streams of letters, numbers and symbols ... like 'aJ8@9)x|W,~2'
