I can say that I see this in the JavaFX forum: lot of people there use 
only NetBeans to code, compile, test and package JavaFX programs, and 
are lost when I mention the command line compiler, runtime and packager...
I use exclusively those along with my favorite editor (with a GUI!), 
because it is fast and lightweight,, (particularly on my old, low memory 
computers!) but I don't expect other people to go out of their IDE...

It is probably the same (or worse) for .NET programmers, who cannot live 
without Visual Studio.
Or even for Java programmers not mastering Ant or similar build tool: 
without help, compiling a large Java project only with javac is a 
nightmare! ;-) (At work, we did that with a bunch of makefiles, switched 
to a complex, customized Ant script, but I bet most people just use 
Eclipse or NetBeans to do the work).
