> As a working professional the IDE is a huge time saver. From quick refactoring to debugging, to step through, to step into, to watch memory, to renaming, to jumping to definition, to method or variable exploring, to function definition, to writing common patterns, to running unit tests, everything sits at one keyboard shortcut away. And the IDE is smart enough to correct my mistake as I am typing, so by the time I hit build, the software builds without errors. I'm glad someone mentioned this. When I was learning programming for the first time, the Eclipse debugger help me to understand for/while loops, because I could see exactly how the computer behaves, as it runs through my code line by line.
