I love intelisence, wish there were something like that for linux that I could use.

Actually one thing about the IDE that if you're going to work in multiplelanguages 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 whenI first learned c and c++ I had to memorize every little method in everyclass and every function in every library. That or have files and files ofreference 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 languageand 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 foryou 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 torelax 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.

If you are going to do any real programming you will need to work in an IDE. There is just too much complexity and too many lines of code to work in a Text Editor for anything but a small demo project. How are you going to handle any Interop or SDK technicals? What about DataBase, DataSets and Forms or Pages if you want to work on the net? Are you going to wire up all the web.config or app.config settings by hand? If you want to play around a little your plan is fine. If you are going to work on any real projects or do any work at an educational institution you need to learn how to make the IDE work to your satisfaction. That can be done.
