You are probably right, but like I said in another response, maybe my
brain is too "fixed" to using words like make, cc, g++, etc. rather than
the motor motion of point and click.

That being said, I like word processors, spread sheets, cad programs,
email, the web,  all the things that you do all the time. Why does
software development need to be so different?

I have used an IDE that mostly worked, CodeWright, but just not enough to
be worth while, and that was 20 years ago. I would have thought that this
could be done by now.

Maybe I need to write one :-) but what would I use to do it?
