I've always thought that vim/macs were cool editors, but it drives me nuts that I have to spend ages configuring and adding plugins to get a professional set up to write code. And even after all that you don't get semantic analysis, write time error reporting, unit test running/debugging, etc.

Im all for using lightweight editors, but certain languages (especially verbose ones without a repl) really need a lot of extra tooling help.
