I'm asking what gives anyone the ability to make a correct judgment about tools and productivity?

Extended experience (compared to someone who've only used X, someone who has extensively used X,Y and Z editors trumps them). Besides, some people have so narrow a view, that almost anybody even a little experienced can immediately tell (correctly) that they are not using the correct tools. E.g. people coding with Notepad... Also, science. E.g. statistical tests with control groups et al, with teams using A or B editor, and checking for speed of writing code, number of bugs, impediments to workflows, etc.
