When I first started learning C in uni many years ago, we were forced to use vi and command line, despite there being functional IDEs.

The argument then was IDEs cause cognitive offloading and you don't actually learn to the fullest extent. By forcing us to do everything manually helped us understand how the compiler works, how to debug errors, etc.

This is what current systems are doing. There is a good article that explains it much better
