Why should he? Just because an imminent and implemented language change designed to offer more clear and concise code is not usable until one's IDE supports it? Who cares? I, for one, like to have my code complicated and hard to read. It makes my code that much more obfuscated and difficult to pirate! ...and use, and debug, and maintain...
