Sometimes I worry that powerful IDEs just make people write more complicated code.
If all you have is a basic text editor, you are limited by what can fit inside your head. If your IDE makes navigation too easy, you end up writing callbacks that call callbacks that call callbacks until you end up in abstraction hell and have no idea what your code is doing anymore.
Then again, better tooling makes refactoring/simplifying code easier so it may just as well lead to easier to understand code...
