I hate IDE's because they are "helpful" (not).

I have been programming since 1976 with line editors, then emacs and vi. My muscle memory conflicts with the IDE.

Also, IDE's HIDE STUFF that can take days to find and correct. PITA.

IDE's allow for very long code lines. You can easily lose code at the far right end of a line.

Short version: I HATE IDE's. Yes, I am an old fart. A command line is superior.

I agre that these "points" are just good practice that everybody should follow.
