Natural Text typing speed into other windows truly aggravating. I
don't know why it's so much slower than DragonDictate, and I don't see
any way to adjust it. It's like watching an old-fashioned Tele type
-- character by character your speech appears on the screen. Natural
Text also seems to be much less aware of previously dictated text, and
much less able to manipulate it, than is DragonDictate. You could
write macros to make it more so, but why bother? ... although, having
a look at global.dvc, it wouldn't be too hard to steal some of the
NaturallySpeaking macros and move them into the global script section.
I don't see any particular win for continuous speech in editing
programs. If you want to have speed writing programs, I think the
thing to do is to have macros that fill in all the special characters
for you. And if you have a programmatic editor that you like,
e.g. Emacs, you probably want to the use the power of that editor
along with your speech recognition program -- and the slowness of
NaturallySpeaking's Natural Text's typing would just not make that
combination a win at present time. Unless of course you wanted to
write enough macros to make NaturallySpeaking editing window code
aware -- I'm not seriously proposing this.
NaturallySpeaking is jet propelled for other tasks -- like dictating
email -- and I'm certainly going to enjoy having macros. But, I don't
think it's going to work better for programming than DragonDictate.

Most of the programming that I've done using Dragon dictate has been
in Lisp. I've done enough C++ and Java programming using
DragonDictate and Emacs macros (guess what I was programming in Lisp
-- that's right, Emacs macros) to see that it can work.
