I don't know what the examiners actually do, but if they count use of an IDE 
against you that invalidates the certification to my mind.  I would much more 
trust a developer who knows how to use all the right tools, including things 
like IDEs, UML modeling software, word processors and the like, and all the 
right APIs, over one who thinks they have to re-invent the wheel over every 
little thing.

It still takes skill to do the right thing with, say, Matisse.  It's not like 
the IDE writes the GUI (or the WSDL, or whatever) for you; it simply automates 
some of the drudgery involved.

Whatever the examiners may think, please do use performance-enhancing software 
like IDEs in the real world.
