OK so @eku and I disagree, reasonable folks can disagree.
I like an IDE for rookies learning because it hides a lot of complexity. You type in your code, push the run button and it tries to run. Push the debug button, and step into your code to see why you have bugs.
I can see how using vi or emacs and a command line compiler can bring some special knowledge. I just think that things like classpath etc just seem opaque to folks at first
