IDEs tend to be limited in their build systems. They’re not flexible: they 
insist you build things their way.

Back in the day, we called them “CASE tools”, and they cost €€€. Nowadays, 
they are just “developer tools”, and they are part of the standard package 
repositories.

The one thing Git does better than any other VCS is merging branches. No 
more hallway fights ...
