Re:Why not just use an IDE if you want IDE features? by swinkels on Saturday October 01, 2011 @05:42AM (#3059728)
With respect to your sad rant, I doubt using or not-using an IDE is the primary (or even secondary) cause for writing unmaintainable code.

Good point. I made the argument under the assumption that the team is, in fact, good. I know that that isn't a common situation. Bad programmers with text editors write unreadable code. Bad programmers with IDEs write slightly more readable code with autogenerated try..catch blocks that do the wrong thing. There's no real difference.
