That clinches it.  If it's good enough for Mr. Mahon, then it's good enough for me!

In all seriousness, I agree wholeheartedly.  When developing in my emulator, using my vi setup, it take me about 5 seconds to save on my host system, build disk image, boot the GS and build the new version under Merlin.

There's so much truth in the statement about the development environment not being the bottleneck.  The more time I spend coding in my mind, and *executing* the code in my mind, the less time I waste going back and forth between writing and executing/testing my code.  There's nothing quite like having an idea, programming it for an hour or two, and having it execute perfectly the first time.  The more I rely on my mind than my IDE, the better I've gotten at that. 

I find the Merlin editor to still be quite adequate.  The main reason I've finally started using an external editor is that I find the constraint of 24 rows of text to be too great considering the vertical quality of assembly.
