I think you'd be amazed at how useful the ATC is, even if you don't do much template editing. You'll save the time it took you to install the ATC the first time you do need to edit a template. Template editing becomes just like PHP editing - make your changes to a simple HTML file using your IDE / code editor, and hit your page again.

I don't do a huge amount of template editing, but the ATC has already become one of those things I don't know how I lived without.

Even if you don't do template editing, just being able to dump all of vB's templates and include them in your IDE's "Search in Files" path is invaluable when trying to work out how vB does something. Like, what does $show['some_show_thingy'] do, how does it get set and where does it get used? One search in your IDE finds all occurrences in PHP and templates.
