So just starting up the IDE is more important than actually writing code or fixing bugs?...
Seriously, I'm never going to understand you "editor" people..
No, writing code and fixing bugs is more important than sitting around and operating your computer.
I can hit F7 or F5 way faster than I can type a full line of some command on the shell. I can tap tab and instantly complete typing the crap I waste time typing repeatedly (typing almost all identifiers become just 1 or 2 key strokes). I can hit ctrl-space and have the documentation for a function appear INSTANTLY much faster than I can swap out and refer to some reference manual. I can step and debug and inspect the value of variables, deep in structures containing a heap of indirection way faster than I can operate GDB.
I will seriously never understand anyone who will try and honestly say typing shit on a command line, feeding commands to GDB manually, and looking up references in some external manual can possibly be faster... under ANY circumstances... ever.
