It would depend on the company -- the "best" people would be more willing to write some code if [insert awesome company here] was using the tool, versus a company like Initech.
Would be a plus if eventually the tool could behave more like an IDE.

Of the best programmers I know, one owns his own consulting company and the other has been actively recruited through his last several jobs. He literally has not put together a resume in 20 years. PS: The best example of the gap between these guys and the average programmer: He once released a bug into production and asked the testers what happened. They said, "We stopped testing your code last year. It seemed like a waste of time." They also requested he spent the night of Y2K in AT&T's bunker, just in case.
