Unsolicited take 

@f0x @thufie jinx! I just linked the same to some replyguy. :P

My unsolicited two cents:

I went through college without using an IDE until my final semester because nobody told me about them. I spent hours each week resolving syntax errors that I have never, as a professional, ever made (for more than three minutes) because my IDE immediately highlighted them.

It's likely that using an IDE would have increased my GPA measurably, and changed my graduate school strategy. It's pretty fucked up that I didn't even know they existed, probably due to some kind of weird snobbery.

People should use what makes their hearts glow, or at least that doesn't make them angry-type code.

I cannot stand Microsoft Excel, and can relate to your pain, but do not share the same fury.
