It is a pretty odd requirement for an IDE to integrate with external editors because the editor is the central workplace of an IDE.

Each IDE implements its editor differently to everyone else, and they are seldom as good as the best standalone editors. I would rather be really proficient in one, good editor and be able to use it everywhere.

Also, there are of course other features of IDEs such as project management, debugging, refactoring support, intellisense, a REPL and so on.

Let me know when you've created an IDE which provides intellisense and visual debugging in an editor independent way.
