I am sure i am not alone with not wanting a IDE. I catch bugs with testing and context aware auto complete every proper editor ships with. IDEs just sound like bloat to me.

IDEs are generally heavy, but Microsoft (and other IDE makers) don't make them that way just for fun. They build the IDE that they want to use.

When an IDE doesn't do something the way you want it done and you find yourself fighting it, I can totally understand not wanting to deal with it. On the other hand, if your IDE works the way you want it to, it can increase your productivity.
