   So long as they support the target language(s) adequately.  Some are   
   much more flexible in their language support tailor-ability than others.   
     I've often been disappointed by those development environments shipped   
   with compilers such as for Lahey and Absoft.  I'm not especially fond of   
   VS either, but there doesn't seem to be any real competitors that   
   include all the essential features.  The main problem with VS is MS   
   continuously changing the "integration" interface such that vendors are   
   always chasing their tails.  I often need to supplement the editor with   
   something more powerful like kedit but usually for when I need to make   
   lots of string changes and a macro or a built in is more efficient.  I   
   just switch back and forth as needed from within VS.  It automatically   
   reloads the file when you exit any external editor.
