Everyone has given many good and enlightening responses but picking yours to put the majority of my thoughts in. Yes, for sure I can see there being more specialized disciplines that don't make much use of IDE's. I shouldn't have made the same mistake as the meme! Not to sound like an LLM but "you're absolutely right!" lol. I certainly have my niche and I can see people spending their whole career in a niche where IDEs are superfluous. I like your balanced take on it.
