Neither do you need and IDE, syntax highlighting or third party libraries, yet you use all of them.
There's nothing wrong for a software engineer about using LLMs as an additional tool in his toolbox. The problem arises when people stops doing software engineering because they believe the LLM is doing the engineering for them.
I don't use IDEs that require more time and effort investment than they save.
You mileage may vary, though. Lots of software engineers love those time and effort tarpits.
