>Ok, tell me which modern IDE I should spent some time with. Is IntelliJ IDEA mentioned here good enough?

Yes, it's quite good. Visual Studio is also very good in some aspects. And you can also get a lot of mileage out of Eclipse. Also try some Smalltalk environment, you'd be surprised.

The thing is, there are things missing from Vim/Emacs that are not easily added as ad-hoc plugins. Not merely this or that feature: what is mostly missing is a coherence in supporting a specific language.

And once you get ReSharper, also from JetBrains, Visual Studio becomes quite good, too :)

Anyone I know that has ever used ReSharper will struggle to work without it. ReSharper is one of the best tools I've ever used, and it makes writing C# a joy.
