Stackoverflow is the place to ask about IDEs.

EDIT: can you point where you have been told that this was off-topic on SO?

about this question:

It wasn't closed because it was about IDEs. It was closed because you asked for a software recommendation. These are off-topic because they are very difficult to answer in a good way.

EDIT (2):

I don't think you will find a good place on stackexchange for this type of question. Having a clear focus is a big advantage to keep the place professionnal, and attract skilled people on specific topics. That means (sadly) that some questions cannot be asked.

Some question like yours were not closed, and are sometimes highly upvoted. this is part due to historical reasons, and part to the fact that people enforcing the rules are not perfect :-)
