Using normal text editor's like notepad vs IDE's like eclipse and android studio is the same as driving manual cars vs automatic cars.

Most people say its quite difficult but if they just start doing it and stick to it for long enough, it will become second nature to them.

Really more like running vs. Driving a car.

You get the same places, but it takes longer and you're probably exhausted when you get there.

I would actually agree, except some IDEs like IDLE that are basically just auto-formatting until manual code run. Having a "smart IDE" is pain as you have the annoying-ass "here's suggestions and no matter what else you type it'll be replaced when you hit space" and the nagging about shit you're going to do not having been done yet.

I prefer automatic to mechanic. And we all know that this argument isn't worth it.
