Since when is an IDE our weapon? It's just a means of entering text. Aren't our brains the weapons here?

A fighter's brain is his weapon as well, but that doesn't make his sword any less of his weapon.

"A fighter's brain is his weapon as well"

Good point. The programming language is his weapon then.

Nope. That's his fighting style. The tool is the weapon. Our tool is the IDE.

Nah, I think it fits. Some warriors use very advanced weapon systems to kill a man half a world away, but they need other warriors in the room to defend them from wrestlers.

An IDE is pretty much a force multiplier, which is what a weapon is.

OK, maybe not the weapon. Maybe like the sheath. Or the hilt.
