I’m a big user of both Vim and Emacs and agree that they offer huge productivity boosts as editors. The speed that modal editing (Vim) gives you or the extensibility of Emacs is unparalleled.

But at the same time I believe it’s naive to underestimate the productivity offered by IDEs such as IntelliJ or Pycharm. While news tools such as LSP are wonderful additions to Vil/Emacs, the experience doesn’t come close to what dedicated IDEs offer.

My personal flow is to use Vim for true editing, which gives me the power of modal editing, and switch to a full IDE when I need to do extensive refactoring or need code insights or need powerful debugging offered by an IDE.

I wish there was a modern terminal-first IDE that has the same amount of backing as VSCode or Jetbrains IDEs. While I enjoy vim's speed and modal editing, the number of barely working plugins that break if you so much as look at it wrong is what keeps driving me back to VSCode + Vim emulator.

What the hell is up with prices?

Everything I pay in dollars became 20% more expensive.

My cereal became 20% more expensive.

Jetbrains becomes 20% more expensive.

This is the first time in my life (34 yo) that price changes have been so large that they’re apparent to me.

And even with a dev salary the combined amount is high enough that it has an impact on my behavior.
