Yeah I know. I do agree. (And like I said, I use Visual Studio at work).

This conversation began when someone said that using a text editor was
"stone age". I kinda felt it was reasonable to point out that many
people still use them, and are likely to for the forseeable future,
because they do have some advantages. Maybe they can't do all that a
language-specific IDE can do, but they do have some advantages. That's
worth noting.
