What about VCS support?

I'm guessing you're working under Windows (re: your CodeWright
reference)? Is that the *only* place where you develop code?
Or, do you also have to develop/maintain in other environments?
Under DOS (and ancient Win's), Brief was my hands-down favorite.
But, as machines got faster, Brief became unusable (IIRC, Brief
had some keyboard repeat timing loops that didn't hook the system
timer; as a result, you could *touch* a key and end up with
a screenful of that keystroke...).
CodeWright was good under Windows. But, the GUI doesn't seem to
add much to usefullness (IMO) and can be distracting as your hands
tend to come off the keyboard too easily.
Emacs is comparable under X. And, *can* be very helpful -- but
really only if you are writing mainstream code (i.e., something
where someone has already created a *robust* "mode").
Currently, I spend more time in simple text editors (no syntax
highlighting, macro support, etc.) because the effort to support a
*single* editor across different development platforms (and tasks!)
is just too much work (perhaps if you have "support staff" it is
easier?) I rely on plumbing in the window manager to move stuff
from "window" (session!) to "window" (session).
[It also gets too tedious trying to get fancier tools to coexist
with a variety of different vendor tools -- none of which appear
to have been created with any of the others in mind! Esp when
everyone wants to make your life *easier* -- and ends up doing the
exact oppopsite! ("No, I *don't* want all those spaces replaced
with tabs, thankyouverymuch!")]
