Let me tell you how real work happens and how productive people work.

Thanks for condescending to all us unproductive children who obviously have never done any "real" work.

Guess what? That's called iterative design, and some very quality software is made the same way. It also has nothing whatsoever to do with arguing against using proper tools.

Here's a question: if your EE had to stop to deal with some clumsy tool (say, a soldering iron that was too big or had a badly designed handle), how badly would that impact his workflow? That's what people are talking about when they say that using the mouse when editing code (a purely textual medium, I might add) is a cache miss.

Except that you don't explain how not using vim is 'arguing against using proper tools'.

If any thing. vim is not the 'proper tool' of 2010's, 1980's may be. Not in 2013.
