I think any of these arguments are funny, I've had the pleasure to  
watch a couple. Honestly, the only reason I use an editor is for  
lilypond. In fact, until I was forced to use an editor because of the  
10.5 intel problem, I didn't even know what an editor was. I use nano.  
It gets the job done, and I don't have to learn an editor :)
