Let's all just start writing code on a typewriter... I remember the 90s IDEs. They were not fun. But still better than nothing! Thanks to Copilot, etc bad programmers can now get a lot further, and perhaps it would be good for them to struggle so that they can become better, but don't lay bad code at the feet of an IDE.

> not fun In the 90s IDEs were all the rage, from Turbo Pascal to Visual Basic - the pinnacle of usability IMO.

  Peak IDE was Delphi 2 Professional, IMHO.
