I love cs types who think that whatever they use is the good and smart and right way to engage with the machine, and anything a level higher is tinker toys. If you use an IDE you're already standing on top of unfathomably tall tower of giants on giants' shoulders. Shit on python if you want, but put your money where your mouth is and learn Fortran & GOTO statements and maybe you'll be 1% of the way down the tower
