I am a home, amateur developer and I was always curious why developers would choose an editor instead of an IDE.
When I started to code 25 years ago, there was no choice but as soon as I discovered IDEs I never looked back.
Startup speed may be an issue, but it is I believe insignificant for a coding session (of a few hours). Key bindings are portable. IDEs bring code completion, integrated debugging etc.

I am really curious.
