Well, I'm not a programmer by nature.  But I can tell you that all the
programming I've done has made more sense to me when I do it the Unix
way.  I can understand writing out text files (with vim coloring) and
then running a command to compile it and run it and so on.  I've used
IDEs and I just get confused about what's going on and where I'm
supposed to be clicking.

My company bought me PrimalScript for VBScript coding, and the F7 key
to run script is about as fancy as it gets for me.  The help files and
the references are nice too.  I installed Cygwin for doing the dirty
work.
