I think some of the emotional attachment to specific text editors or IDEs in general is a feeling that “I’ve put so much effort into learning this environment, I can’t let anybody tell me that there is something better out there.” It’s part sunk cost and part pride (needing to justify our decision to use the particular editor that we use).

But for the record, I’m a VS guy for C# code and a Notepad++ guy for everything else. And they’re the best EVER ;)
