I don't do a whole lot of software (got caught up on the hardware side of things), but one thing I'm noticing is that nobody makes extensive use of "advanced" IDE features as in eclipse or visual Studio.
Is this personal taste, or has it to do with the scope of the projects these guys are working on?

For me, IDEs are great for when I have to do boilerplate coding. But when I switch to real business logic I use an editor like vi or sublime. Anything more impedes my thinking and gets in my way.

I'm guessing you're probably not writing unit test or use code coverage plugins or running static code analysis to provide feedback incrementally and quickly?

Thinking the same thing, I use vi for short scripts all the time but can't imagine doing anything more complex than that without the power of an IDE to assist with or even do the grunt work for me.

I do let the idea do the grunt work for me. But when I get down to writing the important code, I slow down and reason about it without an IDE.
I generally don't need an ide to keep popping up telling me what to type. I know what I'm doing.
