How many of you use an .....

.....IDE?

No seriously I want to know. Don't act all like haxxorz from the '70s.

You are anonymous after all.

I myself am a newbie who was introduced to /prog/ramming using Borland's Turbo Pascal. Then I began using gedit when I began learning OOp in Java. And recently I began learning Vi but I'm still quite clumsy with it. All I am wondering is if it's really a good idea or just a waste of time?

So how many of /prog/ prefer a GUI editor over a CLI editor or even an IDE over an text editor?

Pascal was infinity more fun than JAVA lol

They're a pain in the ass to use unless you set up all these fucking styles, which would be fine in itself, except no one knows how to use styles
To be fair, Microsoft realized this with Office 2007 and made styles the most prominent feature in the entire UI, among other things. I find that styles in Word are now extremely easy to use and almost everyone I know utilizes them.
