I can relate. The few times when I used IDC in the past, it did feel useful, but still it’s not really enjoyable. Maybe it’s the fact that with IDC I’m not so much solving a problem but rather figuring out something about myself. There maybe won’t be any cool hacks or workarounds to solve it all, but in the end it’s more about coming to terms with things. So maybe choosing IDC as the best tool to approach a bug already feels like a small defeat which causes me to rather not choose it and try other, more outward-facing tools instead, or ignore the bug entirely. Something like that.
