Yep, now they are fighting over Linux/Windows.  I still prefer DOS for 
things like test benches.  Spreadsheets , word processors etc.. have moved 
on, often for the good.

Not giving money to IDE writers is not an option.  You generally get one 
with the compiler whether you want it or not.  I'll whine about that on 
occasion, but I'll only really get upset if I can only access the compiler 
through the provided IDE or someone tells me an idiot for not using it.
