I was the same way cloud. But in a few days I liked the IDE a lot better. If you worked with the germs monitor a lot to dump you're code to the board your going to love what the IDE does for you.

I use it as my editor/compiler, and as the communication terminal between the NIOS II and PC. It has debug capabilities too but I&#39;ve never used them (I one of those I can find out anything from a printf kind of people http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif )

Read up on the hardware software tutorial since both show the process towards designing for the NIOS II. There were a few issues I ran into when I tried my own design, but I have to admit I fixed them a lot faster then I could have with NIOS I.
