I use vim , occasionally Emacs Eclipse and VS..  and IMHO the tty editors
are  getting further and further behind  even the last 4 years has seen
massive changes in VS and other IDEs especially around bulk refactoring and
live compilation to show errors as you type. Its so bad that i now run
Gentoo as a VM on my windows box rather than the reverse.

However agree with David it doesnt matter , the right approach is for the
compiler to exposes everything in a manner very friendly to IDEs ,
Debuggers etc So its easy to throw together code for multiple IDEs. You
don't want to make the mistakes of the VS  team where they were  maintain 3
-4  code bases for auto completion ,debug ,  live compile , snippets etc
 and now they had to write a new compiler to do that in one code base.

Ben
