Absolutely true, if you master your one true editor (which should of  
course be vim not emacs as you stated :), you will be very efficient.  
Though I think a good toolchain is what makes programming fun, you  
can have the worst stile while writing code, our little unix helpers  
will do it for you,

Examples:

indent(1)
sed(1)
gawk(1) or awk
ctags
"Your favorite Bookmark Collection"®
gdb
ddd
$SHELL (I heard zshell should be convenient but never could make  
myself up to switch)
some versioning system
a little understanding about shell scripting

To name just a few. The most important ones to me are a versioning  
system and indent which I use to format code snippets from the web  
the way I want (which is also why I can't understand people keep  
complaining about different code styles, I found mine - I can  read  
it - _and_ I expect developers to know how to reformat it if they  
feel the need to do so).
