I would say its the other way around - a beginner would use an IDE for
simple projects and *then* learn and understand other options. Anyhow,
there seems to be an opinion that an IDE dumbs down the compiler while
this is not necessarily the case. There isn't any reason you cannot get
access to any compiler options through an IDE.
