While it's true that they have better IDE's, I often find IDE's 
too bulky so I often end up using Atom or something similar with 
cmd plugins in which way it kinda acts like an IDE. Only thing 
that sucks using editors like that is debugging, but generally 
it's not a big deal to just run the code in an IDE and then debug 
it.
