Not really. At a previous workplace, we used two different IDEs
for the
two programming languages we needed to work with, and wrote GUI
apps to
handle whatever we might otherwise need a terminal to handle.
Maybe it's my age which gradually going to show, but I would not
call these people "developers" but would call these folks
"IDE-operators".
It is your age, and there has been nothing gradual about it.. Look the
world has moved a lot in the last 30 years, and we have gone past the
point where current developers are humouring us old folk for making
jokes about IDE-operators.
I am well aware this is what these people believe in and what marketing
folks are spreading to hype their tools. To me IDEs are "just tools" -
Additional tools, additional to terminals and editors.
I.e. a Linux distro, which is not supporting terminals/editors as part
of a "developer oriented distro" has not done its homework. I'd even go
one step further: Developing under Red Hat's default desktop (Gnome3) is
impossible without an IDE.
