-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I say it entirely depends on what your programming. For instance, if creating a GUI, there is no question that a well developed high quality IDE is a huge help -- from the point of view of stub generation and code completion, as well as the GUI designer.
Conversly, if I'm writing a daemon or other text program, it matters less. Code completion, syntax verification, and the like is still useful (hence I use Eclipse -- but others do as well), but not nearly as mandatory as it would be with other developments.
