I beg to differ.  Real programmers use best-of-breed tools to assist
them in rapid development, testing and deployment -- because at the end
of the day real programers are inheriently lazy and want things to make
their work easier.  Everything else from there is in the subjective eye
of the beholder.  If you want to be a dyed-in-the-wool 1337 h4x0r and
reinvent the wheel with emacs extensions then I won't even attempt to
dissuade you (because trying to convince a hard-core emacs user to
consider an alternate point of view is like trying to stop a fast car
with your bare hands.  Bad idea.)  But I will happily share my opinion
that modern IDE's like eclipse and netbeans are the way to go if you
want to hammer out 1500 lines of code in a couple of days.

As for a real hacker (well, cracker in this case), I think they would
be better off served by echoing stuff directly into files -- you don't
want to go spawning a bunch of processes and get discovered, now do
you? :-)  Even a stupid sysadmin is capable of asking "Gee, who's
running emacs at this hour as root?!
