To add to this statement:
Doesn't matter what one's personal preference is, as an industry trend, I recognize that languages with nice IDE attract programmers and their leaders/managers much easier.
Developer tools that speed up development make developers happy. If I can use a tool that helps me move functions around, great. It saves me time w/ refactoring. Autocomplete is nice, 'cause though I type 80wpm, I can't remember every (*&$#@ function name in some languages, like php, or java.

POD is neat 'cause it's anywhere-readble documentation so long as it's written. JavaDoc requires a webbrowser or an IDE. Fun fun fun if you are using only vim. Yes, i've done java on the command line, no it was for tweaking things.

Give me strength for today.. I will not talk it away..
Just for a moment.. It will burn through the clouds.. and shine down on me.
