I really disagree with the premise of the article that IDEs encourage copy&paste. Full screen editors do. IDEs do the opposite, by making it super-easy to reuse existing code through code completion and docblock tooltips. In a decent IDE, copy&paste is often more work than finding the right method and calling it.

Agreed. The ability to select a chunk of code and click "refactor into new method" makes my code a lot neater.
