Irrelevant. We're talking about documentation for a project, not some
"random odd topic".

You said it. You're the one trying to force everyone to use an IDE!

And how is using a text editor not "playing nice with others"? Many
projects I've worked on use TextPad or something similar.
And when I say "This is how I work" - I mean this is how the projects I
manage work. Each person is free to use his/her favorite
editor/ide/whatever. I don't force a single IDE on anyone.

No, I've worked on some very large projects - 100+ programmers, for
instance.

Not at all. It's the way the whole project works.
Get with it. There are a lot of people in this world who are more
knowledgeable and competent than you. And a large percentage of those
people agree with me - use what works best for you.
