You misunderstand. I find that IDEs stand in my way and make me slower. They also make it harder to concentrate on the core of the problem. I am not declining to use them on principle. In fact, I try one from time to time when I learn something new (last one was the Python IDE), but so far I have always dropped them pretty soon because they were not very useful. The only thing I dropped really fast was that hacked-together atrocity Eclipse, when I found that a) it was hard to use my own text-editor and b) the IDE did not notice that I had changed a file. Really, who in their right mind forces developers to use one specific editor?
