Message: [QUOTE="David Vallner, post: 4524107"] Amen. All the arguments about code being equally easy to manipulate if you follow good conventions and clean design without an IDE are completely void in the "fix a pile of hacks a student coder learning the language was allowed to let loose into a production system" scenario. These scenarios are also unfortunately very common, and usually done on time schedules of maintenance releases, where a full rewrite of a component that works is out of the question. Most people argumenting in this topic that tool support isn't really necessary omit the worst-case scenario - having reliable and precise code navigation and refactoring in these is invaluable as you don't have to tiptoe around someone else's mess and reread your changes three times.
