There are probably a few optimizations a human can make that would be missed by a compiler, but most probably aren't worth the effort. I've done that binary stuff and if you value your time at more than a penny and hour, IDE's are worth it.

Ah, you clearly missed the point. All those editors and compilers and stuff are sissy too.
They were hand coding binary bits into those transformers. Got us to the moon! Haven't been back since.? ? ;-)
I've often heard from people who insist on coding in assembly, though not so much anymore. And vaguely recall somebody advocating machine code as the way to go if you want to keep it really tight. I very seldom find any reason to use anything less than C, even on small machines.

What? I think IDE's make life easier. Those who want to use discrete editors, compilers, assemblers, and linkers are welcome to it. I prefer to be a sissy.
