Any editor that is less responsive than notepad is useless to me, and I'm 
far from alone on that. Thus, we don't go anywhere near Eclipse, VS.NET, or 
anything along those lines (bunch of bloated garbage...and probably designed 
to get developers to buy fancier hardware and thus end up develop apps that 
require their users to buy fancier hardware).
