It's funny, post 9-11 I was pretty down and out for a year or so post-dot-com etc. I learned C# using the command line compiler and the complete reference book in 2001-2002. No IDE at all, and building with BAT/CMD files.
I don't think the tooling caught up to the ease of not using the built in tooling until VS 2005 for me. Of course by VS2012, it felt like such a bloated slow mess, I don't think I've looked back much until relatively recently. Been doing a lot of Node work, which I tend to think of as very low friction.
These days, I absolutely love VS Code which tends to strike the balance of more than an editor, but not slow and bloated like a typical IDE. Integrated file tree + terminal are the best UX to me.
