That's a little unfair (and trollish) of IDE users. Microsoft doesn't 
spend millions developing it's IDEs just for fun. IBM doesn't support 
projects like Eclipse because they want more "stupid untalented code 
monkeys". An IDE can be invaluable in a large project. The near default 
availability of simplistic IDEs like IDLE and Pythonwin is be proof 
enough of their inherent value.
