If you need an IDE to figure out what your code is doing,
that's an epic fail IMHO. Walter has made similar statements
on several occasions.
There was a time that people would write code with even modest
performance requirements in assembler for fear of what the
compiler would spit out, but that's in the past, as is the
notion of trying to develop without an IDE.
You shouldn't rely on an IDE to compensate poor language
design. That is coming from a guy who prefers IDE's.
Platitudes cause poor language design, not the completely
reasonable expectation of good tools.
