Good article. I completely agree with your conclusions.

I really can't see how anyone would want to use a "text editor" 
over an "IDE". I mean, an IDE _is_ a text-editor + tools that 
help you manage projects and understand source structure.

I hear the arguments about common IDE's crashing a lot, but 
honestly, even if it's as bad as naysayers proclaim (which is 
mostly isn't), I'd still rather use the productivity features of 
modern IDE's and live with a crash now 'n then. Plus, it's 
unrealistic to think that such bugs wont be fixed with time, just 
like with any software.
