Sure it wont make you a code whisperer, but once you find an editor that works with your way of thought, you find some crazy cool stuff does happen. For me, it has become as if my editor is directly connected to my brain. If i want to go to a function definition, it just happens. If I want to search, i find myself a the target without every thinking "now i need to do a search". When refactoring I can move chunks of code around, and refit everything to the new pattern without any thought of the text level changes. This is brought by knowing a good tool well combined with knowing the code base and language well. However, without the tool I couldn't be nearly as effective.
