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.
