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.

I love a good ide.
However, if you are switching languages every 10 minutes like I sometimes am a good editor that handles multiple languages helps tremendously.
I like pspad as an editor because it handles a shit load of languages and I can have php, asp, fox and vb stuff all open at the same time (it handles cobol too but I don't do cobol anymore). ;p
