That’s absolutely right. Exactly because of that reason, I don’t force anyone my team to use any specific editor or IDE. Anyone could use vim, IntelliJ, eclipse or whatever. However, after some pair programming and coding dojos that demonstrated how power users use IntelliJ, everyone switched and now we only use IntelliJ.

The contrary happened in the company where I work in. At first, when I was still in internship, I was using sublime text for writing the code, but since everyone from whom I asked help opened vim to review my code, I gradually switched to vim. :) I think it depends on person and the environment he/she works in.

Absolutely! I also love Sublime, I use it as multi purpose editor on both Mac and Windows. So my personal toolset is IntelliJ,
sublime and vim and I choose them where they fit best.
