I still shake my head.
As you also added: "Some people walk to the store, and others drive to the store."
How true.

Basically, the people who poo-poo IDEs often haven't tried them. They talk about "herp derp code completion" and such nonsense, which most of us just turn off in an IDE. Rapid prototyping, code folding, debugging support, syntax highlighting, CSS-context paths, etc, don't seem to ever enter the discussion, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
They're usually the same people who want to build a framework "from scratch" for an application that gets 500 clicks/day.
The good news is that I usually end up with a contract to fix whatever they've cocked up, so all's well that ends well.
