You do know that you can move/remove and customise all of those buttons and toolsbars and options and whatnot? I have never seen that as an excuse. I only have half a line of buttons under the main toolbar. The number of windows I have docked varies from 1-2 while programming to about 5-6 while debugging (with the watch list, call stack etc. all easily viewable). I would reckon that most programmers spend at least some amount of time customising their development environment; I mean it's what you spend most of your day using. What is important is what features and development-helpers your IDE supports (you don't have to use all features) and how configurable the environment is (while not being overly slow and buggy), in my opinion.
