I don't see anything wrong.....in this world nothing is "wrong" (other than the attitude), there is what is right for someone and what is right for most of the people.
In 15 years working as programmer, I have NEVER experienced a single developer using VI for anything other than modify server side files (either config, daemons, apache config files), or to create quick shell script to automate some process. I've been in plenty of companies, where there were awesome people that had 40 years of experience, that were so kind to show me how they do their job....most of them avoided intentionally VI when they had the chance, because they had to work with it in the past, since there was nothing else :) Strange enough, nobody loved it, while writing applications of a certain size. If someone likes it as text editor, so be it, but I would not go around saying to others that they are "wrong", just because they don't see it in the same way. Conflicts are born because someone think that he/she has the right to be right, while the others are wrong. Especially in CS, there is more than a way to do anything, so the right or wrong is really a matter of personal opinion. Then again: Emacs and VI are text editors, not Integrated Development Environments; for the same reason that a VW beetle with a Porsche engine is not a Porsche, a text editor with IDE functionalities is not an IDE....it can be used for that purpose, but there are a ton of other easier and more reliable alternatives; which means that the use of this or that method is purely discretional and based on personal preferences. The original topic was "is there an IDE for the BB, to avoid cross compile?", unless I am mistaken.
