I've used IDEs from time to time, but they don't fit how I like to work.
Sometimes I work on my desktop, but most of my work is on a dev server. Some of my work is on my dedicated server at a budget host. I am not interested in an IDE that runs on my desktop and uses magic to edit files on my servers; properly configuring that with an eye towards security is not my idea of a good time. I'm not going to run an IDE on my server at hosting. I don't want to use multiple editors. The only sensible option is to use a terminal based editor for mostly everything. :p
Having used the same editor for programming for ~ 30 years at this point, I'm pretty good at it. When I use an IDE, it always feels more cumbersome ... sometimes it's valuable because I'm doing unfamiliar things anyway and the contextual assistance is sort of nice, but if I know what I'm doing, it gets in my way.
There's more than one way to do things, and if you want to use all the tools, go for it. I'm not trying to convince you not to, I'm just saying why it doesn't work for me.
