I don't know why some people get so hung about about IDEs. Added value yes but essential no. I've had (the misfortune) work in companies where they still use C++ compilers that run under DOS for some applications along side monsters in C#. There's no excuse for it but a lot of places are like that. Slow to change and haphazard in what they adopt and when. Its the availability of skills and the benefits of one language over another that seem to be the biggest drivers.

PS mrrmrmr cough cough splutter is a terrible name for anything. As a working title its fine but long term is a no no. Its bad enough as a name of a planet in a computer game.
