I only fire up an ide when I need to step through code with breakpoints and watch variables. The rest I do in vim. It depends on the language a lot in how functional you can be without a full ide.

Bingo. I started long before there were IDEs and quickly gravitated to EMACS. When I last used an IDE (VC++/VS) I used EMACS for my editing and it for building (compile and link) but mostly for this type of debugging.
