Needs a VisualStudio option?!

  Ya, I was looking for that also.

  It's an IDE and this was about editors (or so I thought). Some the editors in the poll such as emacs can support basic IDE development (at least a debugger with watches and stepping), but I'm assuming those of us who develop in an IDE should vote for what editor we use for text editing and other general work.

    Well, Eclipse, Netbeans, and XCode are all IDEs... soo...

      True. Then VS is missing, and the poll is a bit weird as many would use an editor to edit a config file on their computer, but also use an IDE for all dev work (personally I can't fathom why you would prefer developing without interactive debugger etc.). when I edit drawings I use a cad program, and when I edit letters I use ms word....

        "(personally I can't fathom why you would prefer developing without interactive debugger etc.)" One may prefer developing without an interactive debugger because they want to be working in a language or environment where an interactive debugger is unavailable. You can also have an interactive debugger without an IDE.

          Sure. But I'd be very hesitant to even consider picking such a tool unless it was the only option, and even if it was I'd probably start by making some form of IDE integration first it I was to work with it for a long time. What I meant with "interactive debugger" was a debugger where stepping and breakpoints are set in the main editor, and values/watches are also there. Editors that handle this are in my opinion pretty much IDE's.
