Unbelievable strawman argument there.
This is not at all a critique of the IDE, but please don't compare the
complexity of "ping" and "fpide"(!)
I agree tho that if a wrapper can do it for us it's safest. Or if the
ide can do it on start, and always setuid(userid) itself right after
setting the proper things. I don't see a problem with ANY program
being setuid if it has a proper reason, and is audited for it.
There is a very serious limit as to how many lines of code one can
audit. A project the size of the IDE is unauditable, given it's size.
This again is not meant to criticize the IDE - any project of the size
is unauditable.
