I've been using nano, make, gcc, and gdb for 6 months now and I've found it much easier than using VS or Codeblocks. But I'm wondering now:

  • Is development on a terminal more/less efficient that using an IDE?
  • In what situations is one preferred more sensible than the other?

I'm not asking about opinions, I want to know if there's specific reasons to use one over the other.

From what I can gather:

  • terminals can be used on environments where a GUI is not available
  • terminal projects can be created and configured more quickly
  • IDEs contain better syntax highlighters (ie identity highlighters)

This question is C biased, but I think it's relevant to other languages as well.
