I don't see why. The very biggest systems I've ever worked on were built using an editor and command line. Emacs in particular is extra-ordinarily powerful, especially in its integration with the interpreter and debugger. Modern IDEs offer a few extra features over emacs but generally they lose out in terms of raw editing power. I missed the original part of the post that prompted your decision, but the quoted comment above suggests a new aopproach to debugging, not necessarily a new debugger...
