Wait, what? Standard coding style is now somehow a bad thing? From your previous comments I can also see that you dislike debuggers? Doing things your way may work if you write small-scale applications, but when you have to work on a large-scale application with several other programmers, there is just no way that you can do that without some coding standards and IDE's debugging and refactoring capabilities. What I really want to say is, look, don't make it sound like all the programmers using IDEs are somehow worse because they use them - they have to maintain large codebases, and without IDEs to help them, they would really have a hard time doing their jobs.
