As someone who started with the command line, (indeed, had to flip the switches on the front panel in the right order to boot the computer) I think I can say that the IDE is a massive improvement in ease of use, productivity, and general all round loveliness. Just having a debugger that works with your code is superb! Being able to edit your code while it's running is a genuine miracle. You know what I'm talking about: Intellisense, XML commenting, autocompletion, the whole package. Yes, there are times when Notepad and a compiler are all you need, but for a more complex project just sorting out makefiles by hand is a PITA! :laugh: I think he's an idiot. Presumably he knows one technology, and assumes it's the best for all environments. Script kiddie indeed...

I have no respect for developers who claim they couldn't possibly develop without the latest IDE and related tools. Do more with less. I use Visual Studio only when I need to (WinForms and SSIS), but all my other C# I do old-school*. And I prefer to do primarily back-end, library, utility stuff. I can send him a copy of the simple IDE I wrote -- I use it for C#, C, and VB. I'm sure it can do other languages (basically all you need to do is tell it how to call the compiler). (Sorry, no article is forthcoming at this time.) * No syntax highlighting, no code folding, no debugger, no designer, no intellisense, no real-time syntax checking, just raw like a chopped panhead yo. :cool: Like turbo C, except Turbo C has a debugger.
The first software I ever bought was a simple debugger for about 15$. It allowed you to set breakpoints, single step after reaching them and examine the processor's registers (tightly packed on a 64 x 64 pixel screen). After that, I ditched entering machine code directly in favor of a small assembler, simply because having to retype everything after a change in the middle of the code was a pain. When I write code for my old computer today, I use a far more comfortble text editor and a acro assembler on the PC and test my code in an emulator. The old debugger still sees some action from time to time. That's all you need to get some work done. Fancy IDEs or tools may be of great assistance, but something is terribly wrong if you can't live without them.

I am sooo glad I never had to use a line editor. While some of my classmates were using EDT (?) in line mode, the cool kids showed me how to use TECO in screen mode (this was on a PDP-11).
Holy shit! I completely forgot about that from my PDP-11/44 days back in school. It was far better than using the line printer terminals, but in those COBOL days, anything was better than sitting there writing it out on paper.

The Linux guy is wrong. He doesn't have to install Visual Studio or an IDE. He can use his favorite text editor to author C# code and run

My point exactly. :thumbsup: In my years doing C on OpenVMS, we used text editors and command-line compilers, and we liked it! But we (I) dreaded having to use the debugger, it was (is) practically unusable. Having the debugger in an IDE (Turbo Pascal for example) is a huge benefit when you need it. But most debugging tasks don't require a debugger at all. In many cases it's just one more crutch that some developers think they can't live without.

Yes, that's when an IDE becomes helpful. But up until that point it's more of a hindrance. (In my opinion.)

Kudos to you. I definitely feel that IDE's limits ones ability to use your brain and try to remember stuff. You start relying to much on 'ctrl space' phenomenon. When you find yourself in a situation where you can't use an IDE you're helpless. It is good for all developers to stay in front of technology. To say that the 'cannot possibly develop without' it.... well maybe a way of manipulating their bosses in to upgrading.
