Grasp certainly has its value -- e.g., the CSDs are very useful.

But I find for editing, and general navigation, the ability of
the emacs Ada-mode to format the code in a uniform style, to jump
to declarations, to produce templates for Ada constructs, and
in general to do things in an Ada-aware manner makes for much
greater productivity.

To be sure, to take advantage of these features does require
some learning, but .. there's no free lunch.
