I think IDEs are a matter of personal preference. There's nothing wrong with wanting good integration between the various tools you use, and good tools are not the same thing as "training wheels". Most of the popular IDEs have at least a few tempting features. I use emacs and command-line tools most of the time, but I also worked full time in Visual Studio a few years ago. I was surprised that I got to like it better than my usual emacs setup, for the languages it supports.
