I can't understand why people wouldn't use an ide. I mean, an ide is a text editor, plus lots of useful extras. It's an objective fact, not an opinion. (Where is the line drawn between ide and text editor anyway?)
Performance has not been a valid argument in this question for the past 5 years. And just because an ide has project wide refactoring and semantic search doesn't automatically mean it doesn't have good hotkeys or text transformation tools...
There's a /great/ video to watch - Programming with Hand Tools by Ewald. The ending is a twist. It's actually not about IDEs. You expect it to be... but then there's a twist at the end and he talks about something completely different. Great presentation. It has a cool star wars reference too.

When people say a text editor, it tends to imply having a single powerful general-purpose editor as your go-to for most work.
