Why aren't you using Vim?

Why aren't you using Vim for all of your text editing needs?

Using Vim (or Emacs if you're a macfag) literally allows you to get better at editing text with time. Time spent with the editor gains rent.

Compare this to using an IDE, you will always be as good at editing text as you were when you first started. The ability to get better at editing text doesn't exist with IDEs.

Renaming identifiers is trivial in any editor. I mean bigtime refactoring, like breaking up header files, modifying type signatures everywhere they appear, or breaking up and recombining long functions. Doing that with a regex is at best painful and at worst, impossible.
