Not sure why you're being downvoted, but I agree with you. IDE's can be very helpful and make things a bit less intimidating at first. Just hitting a "Run" button to make things build and run takes out a lot of the stress. When starting with a new language, that's often just what I want to do at first. I can worry about the nitty-gritty details later. And for researchers and non-programmers, they won't ever have to worry about those details. The goal of software should be to make things simpler.
