I prefer the tool spending time performing even stupid tasks than me
spending time performing tasks which can be automated. As soon as I
hit the compile button, I switch to Firefox and continue reading some
interesting article.
No matter how dumb and slow they can appear, I manage to get things
done faster by using IDEs than by using basic tools. It could just be
that I happen to develop in different languages and having to figure
out every time how to setup project management, code completion,
debugging, etc. every time would be an hassle. I very much prefer
fixing the lousy IDE editor by means of an external plugin.
See, Torsten, I wholeheartedly agree with you that we should be
smarter about our basic tools and know them inside-out, but I think
this has become a luxury in a commercial setting. I spend time
learning more about Emacs and about other flexible tools (Make, etc.),
but as soon as I have to churn out code, I reach for an IDE.

Agreed.

Agreed.
