IDEs compared to personal hygiene

Using a sophisticated IDE can be compared to terms of anal hygiene. Think about it for one minute:

There are actually people, that insist on building their apps in Vi or Vim. Those can be compared to desert nomads in terms of anal hygiene, as they are known of utilizing desert sand to wipe. For me, the imagination of doing projects with more than 3 files and 500+ lines of code in a white-on-black-no-mouse-vi-interface gives me the very same sensation as the idea of rubbing desert sand into my buttcrack. I guess that both feels pretty much the same. Also, I bet, both methods will leave a lot of dust and sand that will that will be a real pain when you are doing your business the next time.

During my studies we had to use Ultra Edit. That one can be compared to single layer American toilette paper. It is lightweight, cheap, rough, uncomfortable and you have to fold it several times until it suits your custom needs but it will eventually get the job done.

Some more layers applied will get you to Eclipse. Yeah, eclipse is a 4 layer super tissue with a very soft touch, a perfumed scent and a nice funny children's print on top, that will make it look adorable... It is nice to use, you need less time to do the same stuff, it offers you great, comfortable support for what you wanna do.

And now the ultimate superlative:

Imagine a toilette that shoots colored, scented rose-water up your butt, while tuning into your favorite radio station while you're doing business! The toilet itself is made out of diamonds, coated with pure, solid gold. When you enter the bathroom it greets you and opens up the lid for you. It is pre-warmed so your behind doesn't ever get cold. It is very comfortable to sit on, as its shape is optimized to perfectly fit your buttocks. It offers you perfect service. It detects when you are done pooping and raises the water level so your falling feces will not splash the toilette water up your butt. You don't need to actually wipe - the toilette does it for you. There is a very sleek and comfortable mechanism that cleans out the groove between your gluteal muscles. It also applies special cooling ointment that makes your bunghole smell really, really awesome making anyone ask "Wow, what smells so good in here" and you will blush heavily because you don't dare to tell them it is actually your rectum. The special toilette automatically detects the type of your poo and analyzes its consistency and content. It then tells you if you need more iron, copper, sulfide or other minerals and adjusts your diet to these needs by interacting with your fridge.

If you can imagine that toilette, than you basically know what it is like to use Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.
