You're thinking of the latter, but that was the "beta". It is now out of beta and has been "released". There was a post about it in the last few weeks in the "Insider News" forum.
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I am sooo glad I never had to use a line editor. While some of my classmates were using EDT (?) in line mode, the cool kids showed me how to use TECO in screen mode (this was on a PDP-11).

BASIC-PLUS is what I first learned on a PDP-11. Then some form of Pascal also on a PDP-11. Most of my college work was in VAX Pascal.

Holy sh*t! I completely forgot about that from my PDP-11/44 days back in school. It was far better than using the line printer terminals, but in those COBOL days, anything was better than sitting there writing it out on paper.

Also glad I never had to do that. The 80s was a great time to begin using computers.

Hey, what's the past tense of "succeed"?

In this case because it's an entire book series[^]
The books are about 100 pages long, hence the "Succinct" part

Seriously though, don't you just hate it when people get all religious about their technology?
The only tech-religion I have is anti-Apple. That friggin iPhone doesn't even know lower case letters on its keyboard.
NO LOWER CASE LETTERS! 
It's waaaaay overpriced for a phone that doesn't know lower case letters...
Anyway, don't give in to the Linux guy!

You have to give it to Apple though, they know how to do simple[^]!

As someone who started with the command line, (indeed, had to flip the switches on the front panel in the right order to boot the computer) I think I can say that the IDE is a massive improvement in ease of use, productivity, and general all round loveliness.
Just having a debugger that works with your code is superb! Being able to edit your code while it's running is a genuine miracle.
You know what I'm talking about: Intellisense, XML commenting, autocompletion, the whole package.
Yes, there are times when Notepad and a compiler are all you need, but for a more complex project just sorting out makefiles by hand is a PITA!
I think he's an idiot. Presumably he knows one technology, and assumes it's the best for all environments. Script kiddie indeed...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Yes, that's when an IDE becomes helpful. But up until that point it's more of a hindrance. (In my opinion.)
