No one that uses the Arduino library/hardware/ecosystem on a serious level actually uses the Arduino IDE - for what it's worth. The Arduino IDE is supposed to be for beginners to get started really easy.
For everyone else, use what you want... be it vendor IDE's (ie. Atmel Studio), PlatformIO (for your favorite IDE), etc.
There's nothing special about Arduino that requires using it's official IDE.
