I’ve spent lots of time working in IDEs and lots of time working without them.

Generally I find IDEs more useful when I’m working with an unfamiliar code base or an unfamiliar language.

And that’s probably why there appears to be an age gap. It might be more down to comfort with the code rather than comfort with the tooling.
