With respect to those who are trying to roll thier own, how much is your time worth?
Rolling my own, as you put it, is quite important to me. I have yet to find a code editor that I can call home. I've had some that are close, very close in fact. But none have all of the features I want without the things I don't like.
For instance, I personally insist that Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn be used to switch between open files. But most editors use Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab for this function (some use both, which is nice). But to me, although such a keystroke seems logical (they are "tabs" right?) it feels completely and horribly unnatural: I have to either hold the right Ctrl key while pressing Tab, which is weird because I almost never use the right Ctrl key, or hold the left Ctrl with my pinkie and then hit Tab with my ring finger, which is even more uncomfortable. Using Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn is much better for me, because I can hold Ctrl with my left hand and tap PgUp/PgDn with my right hand.
Sorry for the long-winded example, but that's just just one point of many...
