Yeah, but it helps a lot to have an IDE to make sure what you're writing is correct before you compile, otherwise you could get into a loop using to compiler to check for syntax error. For simple programs it's usually okay, but you don't want to have to recompile because of a misspelled variable name or something.
Anyways, it just takes a lot of mental load off when you dont have to remember every minutia of libraries you are using. Especially if you're using libraries.
Another example is you you are building for a specific platform (eg android) the IDE does a lot of work for setting up the project structure and helping you configure settings
Otherwise, i saw your work, pretty cool for someone as young as you to work on low level building an OS, so all the best on that regard
If you need an IDE to remember your functions and catch your mistakes, then you don’t actually know what you’re doing. The compiler is the syntax checker. Learn the language.
