Under certain circumstances they are useful. I am fully of the opinion that no beginner should ever be allowed to use an IDE. IDEs are an inhibitor of learning and understanding and should only be used by experienced programmers who have already gotten the necessary concepts full groked. > > but if you can't do your programming in a > > straight text editor, you shouldn't be programming at all. > When you programm in a text editor, you may very likely to have snytax errors.

Most autogenerated code is less programmer friendly than it could be, it's purpose being to be easily created rather than read and maintained.
