Actually one thing about the IDE that if you're going to work in multiple
languages just cannot be done in anything else is the intelesense. Once you
get used to it there is no going back. It gives you a leg up on speed when
I first learned c and c++ I had to memorize every little method in every
class and every function in every library. That or have files and files of
reference texts that I could search through using grep. When I took up VB
and C# in Visual Studio I didn't have to know anything about the language
and I very quickly could write software because the intelesence pretty much
popped up everything I needed as long as I knew something about programming
and could type my variable name and put a dot after it. Not to mention the
fact that if your coding in an interface it creates all the method stubs for
you which really goes a long way in not letting you make a lot of beginner
typeos.
So while I started out and still do code with out the IDE it sure is nice to
relax and let the IDE do a lot of the work when I can.

Rick is certainly entitled to his thoughts on the issue, but for the
sake of hearing the other side I'll say that I get along just fine
without the IDE. Now I'm sure the situations scale a little higher than
the ones I'm in at the moment, but certainly I've done work on fairly
complex, team-based software development projects using the .net
framework. It's all about finding the environment that is comfortable to
your personal nuances and habits, I think. The IDE may be an option for
some, but I must disagree with its being a necessity.
