SIDE NOTE: An underestimated attribute of using command line editors of olde is that they basically don't change. Yes, Vim is under development still, but the new features don't matter to me, because I don't track them and don't know what they are. All of the things I have ever done with Vim, Vim still does exactly the same way it did when I started using Vim.

I'm too out of touch with the IDE world to be sure they all have this problem, but at least the ones I used BITD would make changes that forced me to re-learn how to do things I already knew how to do before the change. I'm not against doing this entirely, but it needs to be done a lot more judiciously than most higher level tools do it. Code editing simply isn't an area where there are fast advances being made, so if your editor is making large changes, they are probably not advances, they're just causing you problems.
