I agree it's a personal preference. For me, if I'm working on a project with 30 different source files, I really like being able to move to the one I want to look at next with a single click and run a build with a single keypress. If that makes me an idiot, I guess I'm an idiot.

Update: Apparently I am thick and can't recognize a joke. In my defense, though, I have seen the "IDEs are stupid as is anyone who uses them" theme pop up here from time to time.
