Well, i already wrote about my thoughts on auto, so i do not see a reason to repeat them.

However, about IDEs, you still ignore that code is not only worked with inside IDEs - i already wrote twice the case of a code review tool... have you ever worked on a team with code reviews done by a web-based tool? Or even with a source control program that you want to check the differences between commits that someone else made long ago (they may not even be at the company anymore) and the diff tool obviously has no idea about types and such?

There are many reasons for why you need to work with code outside of an IDE and none of them have to do with using Notepad to write the code.
