I have used a ton of IDE's, and currently use Visual SlickEdit in vi emulation mode... or just plain vi when feeling lazy (ok, mostly just vi).

When it comes to the ever present goal of witting code faster, and more consistent, i have found that it is not as much the IDE, as it is the code architecture. -- oops, i said one of the scary words. If you make smart choices in your code architecture, like making modules where it counts, and actually thinking about loose coupling, you could write code in notepad and still be more productive than within an IDE with bad choices. This is like optimizing code with a bad choice of algorithm ... it may go faster, but not as fast as a good choice from the beginning.
