Poll HN: IDE (eclipse) or plain editor (vim, emacs) ?
I recently got into a discussion about whether using an IDE really speeds up development time. If you were confronted with a large project and barring organizational constraints, do you believe using an IDE (Visual Studio, Eclipse) will make you significantly more productive than a good editor (vim, emacs) ? I separated the options out to be language specific, so select your language of expertise.

Netbeans 6.5 for large PHP projects, vim for quick fixes and Gedit + plugins for small/medium projects.
i don't use those languages and i use vim
i still believe touch typing (10 fingers + cartoon characters) is often taken for granted
how many of your bugs stem from typo?

No. All I need for C is my emacs, compiler, and terminal, and I'm good to go.
