	What a novel idea ;-).  Programmers should be flexible?

	Editors are tools.  Some tools are better for some things than others.
You wouldn't expect much fun from trying a standard screwdriver on a philips
head screw.  In the spirit of the original question, students should learn as
many editors as they are capable of learning.  School is where you should be
learning these things.  You develop your capability to learn new instruction
sets.  Adds flexibility to your thinking.  Improves concentration, etc.

	Preferences?  Everybody has preferences.
