>If what you are doing is old news and part of an active "enterprise-y" code process, then it does reduce friction. Otherwise, it can be a source of friction unto itself.
I don't understand this statement. What does having an "enterprise-y" code process have to do with anything?
I wrote a programming language. Nobody uses it. Therefore, it has no IDE support, and trying to use it in an IDE will be a frustrating waste of your time.
Someone else wrote a language. It powers 100 trillion dollars of business. Lots of people use it. Therefore, it will have ten IDEs all competing with each other to be the best, fastest, most popular, and least buggy.
