All of those are things that have happened to me (except an IDE that could not handle externally edited files). They are very rare occurrences, but still annoying when I have to get something done.

I just code in Notepad++. I make an error, I fix it. It doesn't work, I just dump variables to see what I did wrong and where.

Meanwhile: vim and Emacs users, constantly installing and configuring plugins to emulate a fraction of the power of IDEs, go "just use vim/Emacs".

So, you've never actually used Emacs?

And possibly also never used vi either?

I only use nerdtree, and bind some scripts to F-keys. Haven't updated in a couple years, just works.

Easymotion is the only plugin I need to be happy.

What is that hyperlink?

I swear to God if it is what I think it is, I'm going to jump into fucking traffic carrying as many baby ducks as I can.

It looks like they put a license of use on their comment

I really never understood what benefits an IDE has over Notepad++, they take up SOOOO much drive space for me when all i want to do is make a mod to someone elses file..
