I always thought that an IDE that was smart enough to do 'intellisense' would also be able to maintain a precompiled image of any code that had no failures in it. After all, most developers (at least on Windows) are working in an environment where they have a dedicated machine (i.e., PC), so while the developer is sitting there scratching his/her head wondering why the code doesn't work (as I have been doing all morning with nothing to show for it but splinters in my fingers), the IDE can be updating the image behind the scenes. Heck, with the wasted CPU cycles today, it could maintain a Debug, and several different optimized Release versions as well.

It is not that old programmers are any smarter or code better, it is just that they have made the same stupid mistake so many times that it is second nature to fix it.
