Yeah, what's wrong with IDE's? (Insert joke about thinking he was referring to sitting down or putting headphones on.)

I'm referring to the choice of words. E.g., I never heard anybody call their IDE/Editor/emacs setup casually "integrated developer environment".

I think it could also be for people that aren't programmers that may read the article. But, yeah, I've never heard anyone use the full name.

I don't think I've heard anyone at all call it an "Integrated Developer Environment", instead of "Integrated Development Environment".

Oh, that's true! I hadn't even noticed the difference. I've never heard anyone use the phrase "integrated developer environment" either.

Maybe it's implying that real programmers have some sort of cyberpunk synapse plugin

Could very well be the style guide at work here. If I had to write an article for public consumption, I would avoid techy acronyms as well.

He could have said "code editor". I think everyone would have understood that and it wouldn't have sounded weird to programmers.
