I love riddles. Let me try to answer... * The person who regularly codes in six different languages and doesn't want to learn six different editors (whether or not part of an "IDE"). * The person wanting to work fast. * The person wanting a super-powerful editor. * The person who actually wants to understand the structure of their source code, and not have the IDE point to hundreds of chunks magically connected by the IDE. > It's > an editor and its use in development for anything beyond writing or editing > simple scripts is just not smart.

Now let me ask a riddle of my own: Q: What kind of person deploys code without testing? A: The kind that blames their editor for their mistakes!
