Yes, you add the word "typically" in there, so it's not technically an absolute, but really, what you're saying is not much better.

I'm not going to tell you that you need to abandon your IDE, but I use a DDE centered around Vim, and I like to think that I don't necessarily have a narrow world-view as a result of that choice, thank you very much.
