As for editor wars, I believe using plaintext editor for editing code is ugly whatever the editor is. Especially, if the editor (like bare ST2 or bare Vim) has very low understanding of code semantics just enough to highlight the code and do most primitive type-ahead suggestions.

Unfortunately, there aren't many structured editors/IDEs that operate on AST/ASG instead of blobs of plaintext. And, sadly, none I could subjectively call good.
