LOL - I actually used to use EDLIN and VI but once you really start having to do a lot of coding and use a modern editor you can code a lot faster better code.
Knowing how to use the built-in tools though is good so that if you have to work on another system without modern tools you still know how to do it.
If I was paying you to code though and you were using just the built-in tools I'd think twice about paying you a decent wage if it were based on the hour.
