  1. I thought each language performs certain roles better, so it depends on the task involved.
  2. Programming is mostly text, so the debate should be vi and emacs, and it's a fruitless one. Learn both.
  3. Any reason to keep your source code unavailable? I can see a monetary one, and a psychological one (insecurity).

Any time you have to deal with a big field, you should cut it down into human-readable sections.

Neither vi nor emacs is an IDE. A good idea can provide for features like online linting that vi and emacs mostly don't provide.
