    Language is merely how we express ourselves, if an IDE is equiped to simplify that process of expression with auto-completion and what not, it is non the less changing that form of expression thus changing the language. Why do you not comprehend and in your lack of comprehension why do you persist?

    I believe otherwise, if anything the IDE will oversimplify the process and take away from the COMPREHNDING EXPERIENCE, though it may add to a falsified illusion of true learning. No IDE makes that difference, COMPREHNSION is a process in and of itself it happens independently. Let us assume that in the most ideal of situation, merely for the sake of argument, that a programmer uses an IDE so simplistic and easy to use that it completely changes the language that it is meant to work with, this new programmer will have been learning a language completely different in essence, ideas such as programming style will be lost as the programmer becomes more and more accustomed to the comforts of the IDE. This is the most extreme situation and in many ways it stands true for most modern IDEs. This is most evidently a matter of opinion and I have reason to believe that no matter how much we disagree neither of us can truly change the other.

    You speak of typing as if it is manual labor. I would not like to imagine your physical proportions nor do I believe I can.

    You fall into the same category of people that believe loading cities with overpopulated underpaid schools will somehow cure public "idiocity".

    No matter what language a programmer programs in, it is the understanding of programming concepts and logical REASONING that makes a good programmer, no amount tool-tips or auto-completion can change that. There are some things that cannot be taught. If you cannot program on notepad, you cannot program on an IDE, and you cannot program, it's as simple as that. Whether you can not program in notepad or not program in an IDE the fact stands that you cannot program.

    Though it may be flawd, it may just also not be flawd.

    Arbritary online sources do a better job of explaining than I do.
