I'd really love to use an IDE, but I haven't found any modern ones that I don't hate. Which is curious, since I used to love the Borland IDEs (Turbo Pascal, Turbo C). Maybe I'm just spoiled, but all the IDEs that I've tried since have managed to turn me off quite thoroughly, in one way or another.

I agree with this so very much. The modern IDEs I've used are pretty awful. They get in my way and doing anything uncommon in them often requires a small research project.

Some more so than others, of course. I think my least favorite may be VS, although the Jetbrains offerings are a very close second.

I've taken to just not using an IDE at all for my personal projects. At work, I use what I'm required to use.
