Now I know, why you don't do unit testing: It's a pain without an IDE.
:) Anyway, you should give IDEs a try, e.g. interactive debugging can be
quite useful.

Sometimes, very seldom to me. For C/C++ I'm usually much faster with plain commandline gdb than my co-workers with their IDE's. Also I tend to use printf-debugging (in Java System.out.println()) instead of debuggers. It's always amazing to see reaction of people doing hours of hours debugging without finding a bug and after I add some printf's I can tell them: Your bug is here, not where you searched.

It is not that I think IDE's are evil. I simply don't like them much. And I usually do a lot of additional build steps to ease common tasks which is most time hard to achive with IDE's, but really easy with hand-made makefiles.

On the other hand all this may be wrong and I simply use what I learned as a child (I teached myself programming with 12, approx. 2 years after I got my first computer). As I learned programming completely myself I've probably fallen into every possible programming mistake already and thus got much experience. :-)
