Ok, ok. If you want to define that as your minimum requirement, that's fine. I don't agree, but I'm sure many do. I know how to write a parser and a compiler anyway, so it doesn't step on my toes directly.
What I really meant to say was, everyone would not need to actually write a compiler/parser (regardless of whether they know how to or not). To achieve the goal of having a bunch of nice new IDE features, we don't need everyone writing parsers and compilers. We can achieve that goal by having a few developers write really good compiler-as-a-service offerings.
