Yes that is a dual meaning. I was reading this blog about text editors. The truth is that I am an editor slut. I use different editors for the different things that I need them for. I am not just a one trick pony nor am I one language coder or a one editor kinda guy.
Eclipse is my Java editor. I would use something less bloated but the Java code I develop in have extremely awesome integrations into Eclipse. Android apps that I develop are so much easier to develop, test and deploy using eclipse. I can deploy straight to my phone plugged into the USB port which is just such a time saver. I have become a big fan of GWT because of its performance for the end user. Not to mention it works fast and great on mobile browsers. GWT is much faster to develop using Eclipse just be saving the file and refreshing the browser.
WingIDE I just started trying out since PyCon. I am feeling kind a hooked for hacking hard core in Python. I was using Komodo Edit which also had good Javascript support but it is way lacking in Python support. The downside being I am going to have to pay for WingIDE and I don't think I can afford the professional version but it is probably worth it since I spend like 6 hours a day hacking Python.
Emacs I use for basically commit messages but I am thinking I might use it entirely instead of TextMate which I purchase years back and it is nice but not all that for making my editing life easier.
Since I wear many hats as a developer entrepreneur then I need to use whatever is the most productive tool.
