Yes, that's why in my previous job I simply forced all my team to use Vim, with almost the same vimrc. Before me, some were using Eclipse, jedit, even dreamweaver, that was a mess, also with encodings.

But to complete Jacques' rant, I'd say that if duplication is bad in the part of the code handling logic and actions, it is not bad and often "normal", or even "better" in configuration parts or in content parts (eg templates). Factorizing a list of configs to replace some duplication with logic (loops, conds) can be a very bad idea.
