Yeah, I was a strictly Notepad guy until I pulled my head out of my ass and stopped looking down on the guys who used IDEs without trying one. I was a cocky prick about it, and now I'm kicking myself for not using one sooner. Integrated file transfers, version tracking, auto-docs, integrated language reference (is it needle, haystack or haystack, needle?), as-you-code error checking (this variable might not get set, that variable references a slight mis-spelling of this variable), full-path browsing, recursive function/method/variable name changing, "safe" file deleting (checks if anything is referenced), right-click to show CSS properties acting on a given element .. holy shit the list just goes on and on. I had no idea what I was missing.
You'd be doing yourself a service to check it out. It was only $299 when I bought it -- a steal for what it does to my efficiency. Combine it with 4-5 monitors and you're even more of a machine, it's ridiculous.
