I also tried at first compiling a java program from the commandline to understand the compiling process but apart from that developing with notepad is like going back to stone age. A few days ago I had to fix some bugs in an ASPX without having the .NET project files and I had to use notepad - without autocomplete and some auto-syntax check there were a lot of additional test runs required - e.g. because of uncorrect spelling (upper-lower-case) of method names.

Why should I create additional unnecessary tortures?
