> I would never complain about a language just because an IDE does not exist for it.
I think their complaint is valid, especially in light of their finding it difficult to find experienced coders who are in their salary range.
New coders can lean heavily on a good IDE to help: code completion, breakpoints, step wise debugging, one click links to the docs, easy code navigation, and more. Senior coders can and should use the editor of choice, but a great IDE makes a world of difference for a junior or even intermediate coder.
