This idea that you'd trust an IDE over a person is completely foreign to me. I don't use an IDE. I don't trust developers that rely heavily on IDEs.

Perhaps an IDE can do some refactoring, but the type of refactoring I normally I doubt any of them can do. If they can, then they have an AI far more impressive than I've ever seen.
