I use Vim. Most of the fancy IDE features are one of a) already there if you know where to look, b) available in one or more plugins, or c) not actually as useful as you've been lead to believe. Seriously. My setup is something you can put on a thumb drive, or better yet put it in source control and sync whenever you like. Much or all of this applies to Emacs. I realize that some people will never be happy with Vim or Emacs and really want a big GUI IDE. That's ok, too.
