I've found the "developer time is more important than machine time in 99% of cases" argument to be particular effective when preaching python to the C++ masses.

Agreed on the responsiveness issue. You don't even have to open hundreds of buffers, either. Emacs has given me embarrassing pauses while auto-saving a text file only a few kilobytes in size. Emacs will also make the text flicker as it redisplays the buffer every few minutes.
