OK you made the mistake of posting this to a forum full of programmers
However, no one has yet to catch your design flaw. I guess they're not as good as me.
"...and I drop crap along the way" is an implicit statement in one regard and explicit in the other. Implicit in that some may conclude it is the horse that is dropping crap along the way. Explicit, in that the buggy has a toilet seat instead of a regular seat and you are, in fact, dropping crap along the way.
Now, since many people still use Internet Explorer, which is also known as "IE", the initials "IE" can also be used in this sense in that the statement can be both Implicit and Explicit, or "IE".
Since "IE" (Internet Explorer) itself is crappy, one might conclude that you're dropping 3x crap along the way which is, as you noted, "Kind of like using a text editor" after all.
I rest my (crappy) case.

If it's buggy you want, you can't do much better than VS.

Sadly not.  I uninstalled it pretty much the same day I tried it out.

Funny, I always thought horse's did drop a lot of crap along the way.
Still, my first quick scan misread it that you prefer your IDE "hung like a horse". The mind boggles.

Well, punched cards.
When I was allowed near VDUs I started with a text editor. A line based text editor, so you couldn't see what you were doing unless you asked for it to print your text so far. Which you didn't often, at 7 1/2 characters per second.
Slowly, I have moved on up, thinking each step a vast improvement.
"Wow! I can see my text all the time!"
"Wow! I can have move than one text file open and see them BOTH at the same time!"
"Wow! It supports TABS! I can indent!"
"Wow! It indents for me!!!!!!!"
And so on.
What we have now may require a much, much better PC to work on, but there is no way I would want to go back!
It's like cars - I can remember when they were still supplied with a starting handle so you could get them running if the battery was flat (my mother had one). Now, I jump in, turn the key, and it starts. I'm not in favour of manual cranking an engine over at all...

When I was at Uni, a mate of mine bought his first car. Not only did it have a starting handle (which it needed at traffic lights when he stalled it) but it also had a valve radio. Looked like a normal car radio, but it was about 2 cubic feet and took a couple of minutes to warm up. I always expected it to start with the News from the Western Front, rather than Radio Caroline...

Like all things it depends
1) What language I am writing in
2) Is it a quick one line change
3) Can I run an IDE in the environment
etc
But it is a trade off - speed vs power
