You get the most out of them when working on bigger projects with many files and multiple contributers:

  • Version control integration
  • Automatic profiling
  • Debugger integration
  • Refactoring
  • Jump to Definition/Parent/Children/Usages of a Symbol
  • ...

For changing a single file, I'd often just launch a simple editor too.

Version control integration

Almost always garbage, in my experience. Except for merge conflict resolution. That's unbelievably nice. But git command lines have always been more reliable and less likely to end up with broken local branches.

Seriously though. The merge conflict resolution in three panes is super nice.
