I dislike IDEs. But I respect those who need them.

It is really just a combination of a well configured text editor and shell + excellent docs, debugger etc. What's not to like?

ah - I guessed. It's the interactive shell you don't like. Has downsides but also big plusses depending on the level of programmer.
