@freemo Although I use VS Code for most of my coding now, it's still Vim all the way for simple scripts, one-offs, and (strangely enough) all my writing.
@mikey That is quite the ideological transition you made there.
@freemo Pragmatism. I started working a lot with Node and Typescript, and it was easier to just go with the flow. Same reason I used Eclipse for Android dev a long time ago.
For writing prose, though, give me my "das" and "cap" commands any day.

@freemo I'd love to dive into the whole "Unix *is* my IDE" thing. Maybe one of these days...
@mikey It kinda makes sense with no explanation really, all the tools are there you'd need in an IDE really, find, replace, filetree, git commands. I get it. Only thing you'd have to offload is the actual fileediting.
Though i find the file editing part is 95% of what an IDE does anyway so I'm not sure it solves much unless you just dont want the code completion, syntax highlighting, inspections and similar visual aids. Which is fine, but personally I find those to be vital time savers.
@freemo This was the series I read that made me think about it:

The idea appeals to the minimalist in me. Vim as editor, aided by bash, git, diff, etc. It's a simpler life.
