As I get more and more into programming, I get the sense that "real"
programmers use emacs or vi, or some other editor that from my
perspective, seems arcane and impenetrable compared to something
simple like IDLE that comes with Python, or Scite, for example.
Can anyone provide a cogent explanation for why I should take the time
to climb that learning curve? What are the benefits, as you see them?
real programmers use their brain.
real programmers program their brain.
often, real programmers' brain-programming program is emacs.
