I find the tendency to stick with an IDE relates most to the use of a single language or framework at a job. As you start mixing languages, environments, and tools, the IDE becomes more of a burden than a help.
International educator, now in a e-learning/database admin role. Taught Computer Science/IT for 14 years. Managed a wide range of ed-databases for 11 years. Hungry for more knowledge around these!

Agree. In the academic context we worked only with one IDE when working with a language. Kept things fairly smooth going.
