IDE Does not Mater (Score 1)

Productivity on a project mostly depends on the IQ of the team members and the social interaction between them. The IDE used does not matter. It does matter that all members of a team know how to use a common IDE so they can work together on the same screen.
The IQ can only be changed by changing the team members, and the social interaction depends on personality and experience.

Another fallacy akin to the 'best IDE' fallacy is the 'correct design and architecture' lie. In fact a 'good enough' design and architecture is far better than a 'perfect architecture' if all the team members are of one mind on it. I have seen many projects flounder due to unending arguments over this or that design issue.
