What do you really get from IDE-driven development?

Let's all just start writing code on a typewriter...

I remember the 90s IDEs. They were not fun. But still better than nothing!

Thanks to Copilot, etc bad programmers can now get a lot further, and perhaps it would be good for them to struggle so that they can become better, but don't lay bad code at the feet of an IDE.

> not fun

In the 90s IDEs were all the rage, from Turbo Pascal to Visual Basic - the pinnacle of usability IMO.

Peak IDE was Delphi 2 Professional, IMHO.
