Mandating or expecting tools for others is a problem. Many code reviews are done in web settings, and that was an example you ignored fromt he person you responded.

And you ignored any value that actually specifying the type can have.

You also ignored the age old wisdom that code is written once and read many times.

Why are you attacking me? I just put some motivation for myself and maybe someone else to switch to an IDE. Is this mandating tools thing a problem where you are working? How did that affect you?

Why do you feel attacked? You aren't your ideas, and in this case you had a bad idea.

You said that people not having an IDE was "bridge too far" meaning that people should always have them. We already had examples of where that simply isn't true so your idea was demonstrated as wrong. Own it get a better idea and move on. I certainly had until I went through my past comments looking for childiah arguments and found one.
