Based on my experience with easyC during the past week and a half: You can create code quickly using easyC, but if you're even halfway proficient using a keyboard you can modify existing code faster without it.

It takes a very, very long time to make a simple change to a bunch of similar chunks of code in easyC. In a text editor, a find/replace is often sufficient, and when it isn't, moving a cursor and typing a few characters is a lot faster than mousing and clicking and mousing and clicking and typing and mousing and clicking for every line to be changed.
