This is just my opinion, so take it for what it is worth.

Wizard laden IDEs are for experienced programmers, not newbies.

1. You don't learn the language unless you use it.  Wizards take this
away
2. If you don't learn the language you are helpless if the wizards
don't meet
   100 % of the situation.
3. Most wizards produce poorly laid out, poorly designed code that is
hard
   to maintain.  Thats okay for making a fast demo, but if you want
the product
   to last you end up going back and writing it yourself anyway.

The fastest way to learn a language is to program in that language as
much as you can.

If you want to become a good progammer I would recommend avoiding the
wizards for a while and getting yourself a good programmer's text
editor.

Since price is not an issue I highly recommend Visual Slick Edit. 
Very powerful, easy to learn and easy to customize:
