Oh for the love of god, not THIS again.

Programming and compilerwrangling are separate skills. One doesn't teach
you a thing about the other. The examles you present are merely
anecdotal evidence and mostly unrelated, since vi sure as heck won't
catch more errors than IDEA will for me.

At least I consider the basics of programming to be skill at abstraction
and problem solving. The technicalities of getting the computer to do
what you think it should are secondary.
