I'm reading this thread and am, again, surprised by the fact of people changing editors willy nilly. Based on reading discussions on HN over the last decade or so, it seems that a lot of people on HN don't choose editors because it's the best tool for the job, but because of the same factors that affect the fashion world: Flash, style, color, trend, posturing, and peer pressure. I've banged out code on everything from a green-screen Wyse terminal to Panic's Nova, and there's nothing better for reducing productivity than changing and reconfiguring your tools in the middle of a project.
