Well, "you can *still* use the IDE" is a bit exaggerated, no? At least
unless you misunderstand "IDE" to mean "Integrated Debugging environment".
You'll lose not only the ability to follow definitions/declarations in the
code, you'll also lose the ability to compile incrementally _while_
debuggin, and Visual Studio's feature to move to the next/previous compile
error.
