> Honest questions: What do you consider an IDE? Do you use syntax highlighting?

I use GVIM, no plugins. syntax highlighting is fine and file browser too, but once you start getting into autocomplete and plugins that too much I think. the IDE should not be a replacement for a poorly designed language, and that's what they have become I think.
