Learn to use emacs! What's great about it is that it's so flexible and powerful that any one can make it please them. Pretty much every feature that ever shows up in a cool new editor I end up seeing in emacs too. Very powerful editor (vim too), seriously consider challenging your assumptions around text editor productivity... Also, use The Silver Surfer for finding stuff in files + [e,c]tags. Emacs has some nice modes for interfacing with those tools too :)
