In every place I've been, the IDE choice has been more of a team decision, configuration was personal (some short-cuts, colors, etc). Too much time went into the build environment and other development tools for us, plus if you wanted someone to come in and help (short term pair programming), you need to be on the same page.

What OS(es) were you using at the time?

In my experience, IDE choice was a team decision in Windows (and perhaps Mac?) shops, where the build system was tightly coupled to the IDE.

But in shops that develop Linux code, the IDE and build system tend to be loosely coupled, and the IDE was a matter of personal preference.


Java is also like this. In Java shops it's pretty much Eclipse or GTFO.
