But, it's dead simple to use an IDE. Plus the code you debug within the IDE is the same as the production code. It allows to use breakpoints, and watch vars. There are a bunch of free IDEs, what don't you like about using one?

You think you misunderstood; I didn't try it and not like it, I just never tried it. I'm most productive on Vim/Terminal right now. From a quick google search, it doesn't seem like I can use all the Vim commands in an IDE (though I see some articles on using Vim AS an IDE). Have you personally tried both and preferred an IDE over Vim/Terminal?
