What about it? I haven't found an IDE which is actually less work than doing the work myself, or one with an editor I can tolerate. And if you've never compiled anything yourself or used a makefile, most of the options in one will never make sense to you.

Using an IDE also means you'll probably be unable to work with anyone's code but your own unless you can convince them to use the same IDE as you.

Using an IDE usually multiplies the work in the long run, when you must keep updating and changing all your already-existing projects to keep up with changing versions of the products you built them with. Commercial products are particularly bad, since you're pretty much demanding that everyone you send your code to buys that commercial product. Sometimes -- often -- IDE's break compatibility with themselves and you must start over from scratch. Eventually, I decided enough was enough, ripped all the IDE junk out of my projects, and spent 5 minutes writing my own simple makefiles. Problem solved.

And the data-dump debugger gives you most of what people really want in an IDE without the baggage.

geodeide

GEODEIDE(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					       GEODEIDE(4)

NAME

     geodeide -- AMD Geode IDE disk controllers driver

SYNOPSIS

     geodeide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000

DESCRIPTION

     The geodeide driver supports the AMD Geode CS5530A and SC1100 IDE controllers, and provides the interface with the hardware for the ata(4)
     driver.

     The 0x0002 flag forces the geodeide driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be enabled.  This can be used as a debug-
     ging aid, or to work around problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.

SEE ALSO

     ata(4), atapi(4), intro(4), pci(4), pciide(4), wd(4), wdc(4)

BUGS

     The SC1100 controller requires 4-byte aligned data transfers and cannot handle transfers of exactly 64 kilobytes.

     The CS5530 multifunction chip/core's IDE section claims to be capable of UDMA mode 2 (33.3MB/s) but in practice using that mode swamps the
     controller so badly that geodeide limits the UDMA negotiation to mode 1 (25MB/s) so that the other functions of this chip continue to work.

     The IDE DMA engine in the CS5530 can only do transfers on cache-line (16-byte) boundaries.  Attempts to perform DMA on any other alignment
     will crash the system.  This problem may also exist in the SC1100 since the CS5530 was its direct predecessor, and it is not clear that
     National Semiconductor fixed any bugs in it.

     The geodeide driver will reject attempts to DMA to buffers not aligned to the required boundary.  The wd(4) disk driver will back off to PIO
     mode to accomplish these transfer requests, at reduced system performance.
