I agree to some extent but i wont go as far and say that programmers using IDEs are bad. Notch of Minecraft uses Eclipse, John Carmack uses Visual Studio for 2

I agree to some extent but i wont go as far and say that programmers using IDEs are bad. Notch of Minecraft uses Eclipse, John Carmack uses Visual Studio for 2 decades and still loves it. In large Software projects i think that it helps even the best programmers. On the other hand there are also alot of bad programmers using textmate etc..so i wouldnt relate the skill of a programmer to their development enviroment of choice!
