If you have access to an IDE, why would anyone use a text editor?
brianobush: vi and emacs (I prefer emacs) are consistent and have been around for years. IDEs come and go with passing of languages, trends, etc. With vi/emacs you have consistency and a bug-free editor.As a side note: I once saw UltraEdit eat a text file my co-worker was editing; once saved as UTF-8 it blew the file away and crashed. Another reason not to use closed-source junk.
