Emacs users don't have to worry about minor errors because we don't make them. Vi users don't, either (they already made a huge error, so all their little ones don't matter).
On a more serious note, a lot of the features of an IDE (e.g. code completion, method lookup, compiling, and version control integration) are trivially turned on with emacs. I use etags (ctags, etc) and have macros bound to various frequently used git commands, auto-compile when I change a translation unit, etc. My Emacs is an IDE. And much more. Vi has similar functionality available to some degree or other and even if it didn't, with evil mode in emacs vi users can have it, too.
