The first class of my CS degree was "How to use Microsoft Word" and some of the other students had a really, really hard time figuring this out. Including the guy next to me who kept telling me he had a job lined up already to write software for nuclear reactors in Pascal.
Great fun with the autocorrected Unicode double quotes.
A customer of mine got bitten on a preproduction server because of a copy and paste from some blog, where ASCII " were converted to Unicode (slanted) "
Why would using a fancy editor be in any way relevant to writing code? That CS class should be dropped from the curriculum, imo, until such time as bolding a register has some sort of meaning, or perhaps viewing an sql table via "print preview".
