Oh yes, I definitely agree with this. If you NEED an IDE that's certainly not a good sign no matter what you're working in. Although I can see in certain codebases with huge amounts of macros, functions, weird or inconsistent syntax, that an IDE might be basically necessary to be productive. But for sure agreed that I could do my job just via a text editor if I had to. Sure wouldn't enjoy it though ๐Ÿ˜
