Interesting. As a hacker myself, I would be more interested in hiring (if I was in the position to hire) someone that could quickly `grep` and `sed` their entire repository for the occurrences of a function name that needed refactoring, all the while never leaving the same terminal window that Vim or Emacs was running in. I agree with both of you though. My frontend co-workers need to constantly have that browser window open and complain about their F5 key wearing thin, while I'm lucky if I manage to remember what local domain name I assigned to Apache that points to the project I've been working on for the past 8 hours. My code tests tell me everything I need to know, and I can tell whether or not they're passing from my same terminal window. We all use different tools, many times to solve the same problem, and on occasion we'll use the same tools to solve different problems. The wheel wasn't a breakthrough in the transportation technology only, it also sparked the mechanical revolution once someone meshed two together.
