Beautiful Failure
At Rubyfringe a few years ago, I suggested that IDE features are language smells. This statement reflects a lot of bias: I spend a lot of time holding a programming language hammer, and thus every problem looks like a language paradigm nail to me. But just because I'm biased doesn't mean I'm wrong. Or more importantly, even if I'm wrong it might be interesting to ask ourselves what would happen if we looked at the tools in our development tool chains and treated them as failures.
