     Only mostly.  http://catb.org/jargon/html/H/ha-ha-only-serious.html

     I do think there is value in simplicity (and yes, I do see the
humor in calling Emacs simple).  I also think there is value in
understanding what your tools are doing, and many IDEs make that
difficult or impossible.  It is possible to deliver large enterprise
projects using a programmer's editor like Emacs and a shell window or
three, with occasional reference to documents in a web browser.

     I would encourage the original poster to understand the costs as
well as the benefits of his or her tool choice.

Regards,

Patrick
