Long live vim!  :)

Seriously, I don't know what it is, but a lot of people seem more 
comfortable with an IDE.  I've written several Open Source applications 
for windows, and a common request that I get is to create 'project' 
files for them (I distribute Makefiles).

The problem I have with most of the 'project' files created by the IDE's 
I've played with (I haven't tested them all), is that they are far from 
optimized and seem to prefer using hard coded paths as opposed to 
relative ones (which tends to be a problem if you want to distribute them).
