It's wild to me that people that people use VIM in professional software development settings (especially front end).
Like, I get it if you're a sysadmin who's spending all day in command lines and ssh terminals, but when you're working on high level, user facing software, it's just absurd to have the mindset that a command line interface will be better than a command line interface + a graphical interface.
GUI || command line, objectively provides you with more UX tools and ways of presenting data and interactions to the user, than justcommand line. Everything you can do in VIM, you can do in VSCode running VIM in a terminal, but not the other way around.Maybe it's because I got my start programming 3d modelling software, but there are fundamentally things that command lines are bad at representing.
Itβs more wild to me that people use VSCode over any other IDE.
VSCode is not even a true IDE like, for example, VS itself.
VS Code is not an IDEis the dumbest most pedantic argument.It is a text editor explicitly designed to have plugins that turn it into whatever IDE you want it to be.
i.e. it's an IDE that you get to specify yourself rather than being locked into the exact toolchain that the IDE developers think is best.
