How odd. I've used the same text editor for twenty-plus years now (hint: it has yet to be mentioned) and I find that I no longer have to think how to use it---it just happens. Then again, I consider the Unix command line as my IDE [1].
[1] Every few years I'll try an IDE. I've been doing this for over twenty-five years. I've yet to find one that I like. Over time, my bar for "what I like" has fallen to the point where now it's "it doesn't crash when loading a simple one file program." [2]
[2] The C/C++ "version" of Eclipse. I tried using it to help browse a C++ application at work. It never worked.

My favorite place to work right now is on OSX. It's Unix so you get all the command line goodies plus it has a very good GUI and great tools in the graphical environment as well (I'm thinking of XCode). Plus, I think Objective-C is pretty neat.
