Another key thing is this: ask a developer who has used any IDE for life to put the build project in an automated pipeline... then, maybe you will have the answer why we shouldn't use any IDE.

Interesting you should say that.

I have been using build tools manually for a decade and then switched to IDE. Of course, I still can setup automated pipelines (as I often do) because of that. The IDEs that I use just streamlined the things I already know how to do and have done magnitudes of times.

I think that the morale of this is that less experienced developers need to learn the basics first before they are allowed to use power-tools that hide all the details and foundations from them.
