Hi, People use IDE's because
1)People want to develop things faster when on very big projects,so an IDE comes here handy for faster and quicker development.Also it reduces the number of errors we make because of what we call IntelliSense If someones using it for very small things then maybe its because they are lazy. 2)IDE's help us work on different languages on a single platform(from web development to system development).Hence,It is a flexible tool for people who need to work on both. I feel if you are working on very big projects then IDE's are a must as they increase the productivity. Just an example :-->Imagine a person who needs to write 100's of servlets Now when he must write the deploymant descriptor...that will be very big...NetBeans does it automatically and not to forget even servlet code is generated..So that would be a +++ point. There are many advantages...and disadvantages as well...for example when you are learning something you should'nt use it...because then you won't know whats actually happening behind the scenes. So it varies according to the need of the person and what he is up to!!!! thanks, SMS.
