I don’t mind IDE per se, Just like I don’t mind Game Consoles. It can be truly useful, as you say, to have something Plug-and-Play to hit the ground running.

But they often use subpar components (code editors, file managements, VCS,..). They are tailored to a specific standard and any deviation to that standard result in a lot of pain. So I much prefer documented tooling subset that can be integrated however you want than an IDE.

Also you usually spend more time using a system than learning it. Aiming thing to beginners increase longterm discomfort.
