So would you support an IDE that generated one individual commit per keypress?
That would actually be awesome, if the tools supported it. Imagine how easy it would be to find bugs with a bisect if it can drill down to the actual keystroke that introduced a bug.
Realistically, you'd want to back out a few notches though. Say, every time the dev hit Shift+Ctrl+B (or tabbed over to the browser or whatever signifies "build the project" in the environment in question), so that you get an indication that the current state of things was meant to at least compile and run.
But yeah, that's the value of source control. Being able to dig back in history to the exact spot where a bug was born. I can't understand all why so many people here would want to scrub that away.
