I'm into vi myself, so I'll take your question to mean, "Why would you need
something other than Notepad anyway?"  Really?  I mean, really?  No, seriously?
 Are you referring to something like Notepad++ or just Notepad?  If you know a
good editor well, you can work about as fast as you can think.  Based on my
experience, I'd compare it to the difference between Dvorak typing and the
two-finger method.
