I think it's pretty difficult to make conclusions about a developer's time based on a metric from an IDE. My coding time varies day-to-day and week-to-week. If my team is in a planning cycle, I may not code at all for a week or more. Or, if I'm investigating an issue from the field, I may spend a lot of time in a debugger, but I may not touch code for several days. That said, as a lead engineer/subject matter expert for my employer, at least half of my days are spent doing many non-coding things.
