Me too I dislike this kind of absolute statements about IDEs. The author make a few good points about abusing some features; just like abusing any tool beyond their intended purposes. IMO the best is the compromise of making the code IDE agnostic. So yeah, I do use IDEs and other tools in conjunction to that the tools I used and the skills I know are not bound to a specific project.
