It is about using the right tool for the right job. What you appear to be doing is using the right tool for your job, then concluding that everyone should use your tool for their job.

Here is a great IDE hacker:

John Carmack, ID Software, uses Visual Studio

I work at a game startup making their first PS3 title. The C++ engine team does development in Visual Studio and the tools guys do python outside of an IDE.

It doesn't, both can be great and both can be mediocre.
