I think you are expecting too much.
I've worked with expensive software before (embedded stuff, few K$ per seat) and it it was horrible - missing features slow, crashes a lot, horrible SDK designs. Yes, maybe it did generate some magical code (I have no way to check this) but the dev UX was terrible.
I am working with clang & command line build system now and this is so much better. If someone offered me an expensive IDE I'l do all I can to make sure I don't have to work with it.
