one size fits all: gVim compiled with Python for Python, Perl, C, C++,
Scheme, CLisp, Guile, Fortran, Embedded SQL........... On Windows, I even
replace the lame Developer Studio editor with gVim.

IDEs have nice features, but most are too closely targeted to a particular
language. Learning a handful of languages is bad enough; a handyful of
idiosyncratic IDEs puts me over the top.
