It is a sort of Stockholm Syndrome about a lack of tooling. We celebrate going "IDE-less", as if tools are not how humans have expanded their output for centuries. Instead tooling is always met with the same chants of "leaky abstractions" and "Git Gud".

In the immortal words of Dirty Harry "A man's got to know his limitations." Humans are fallible. That simple fact hasn't been dealt with very well in the rush to grind out ever greater quantities of (buggy) code. Compilers & language design can help, as can other tools.
