They were also my silly answers, and I say them because I spent a week
sharing a room with Manu.  (So he should by now know when I am talking
seriously. :o)

I also voice them because "everyone should be forced to develop in an
IDE" is not a helpful either (and so, I make my point in this way by
countering with the extreme opposite).  It's all about freedom of
choice, and if you impose restrictions on people (removing makefiles)
because another option provides convenience (IDEs) regardless of the
freedom to use that tool, well, err... yeah...
