Seems like a really narrow group (?) Not really. At a previous workplace, we used two different IDEs for the two programming languages we needed to work with, and wrote GUI apps to handle whatever we might otherwise need a terminal to handle. Maybe it's my age which gradually going to show, but I would not call these people "developers" but would call these folks "IDE-operators". It is your age, and there has been nothing gradual about it.. Look the world has moved a lot in the last 30 years, and we have gone past the point where current developers are humouring us old folk for making jokes about IDE-operators.
I am well aware this is what these people believe in and what marketing folks are spreading to hype their tools. To me IDEs are "just tools" - Additional tools, additional to terminals and editors.
I.e. a Linux distro, which is not supporting terminals/editors as part of a "developer oriented distro" has not done its homework. I'd even go one step further: Developing under Red Hat's default desktop (Gnome3) is impossible without an IDE.
