I do not use any dedicated IDE, I use my system (Linux) as an IDE: vim for editing, multiple terminal windows for various tasks (compilation, debugging, running grep, find, sed). This is merely a practical choice, backed by experience in various environments.

When I was using DOS, which does not have any of these facilities, then an IDE was indeed a great choice.
