Had you honestly imagined that Emacs doesn't have excellent debugging tools?
No it doesn't, unless it magically got them since XEmacs, with someone taking the effort to duplicate all features in ELisp. Running gdb as subprocess, with breakpoints, step, run, continue, is the basic stuff.

I imagine that just way more work was poured into VS/Jetbrains debuggers and that they have better UX and better features. I don’t have to offer my soul to make it work just pay money ;)
I'm fascinated at how vastly different our perspectives are. From my POV, I'd be shocked if VS/Jetbrains had a fraction of the work poured into them that Emacs or Vim have.

Text editors just format and display text. IDEs have compilers, debuggers, indexers, source control integration, analysis tooling, WSL integration, SSH integration, and whatever plugins you might have installed.
Why would a compiler take up resources when you’re not compiling anything?

IDE's format and display text. Outside of compiling, they should respond instantly on a blight-ridden potato, with resources to spare.

I have to manually set all of this up in Vim or Emacs, and frankly the debugging experience in GDB or LLDB is worse than it really ought to be. People actually need to use good tools to understand how nice things can be.

Wait, don't you reverse into a parking space and drive straight out?
I always wonder why people do this. What’s the reasoning?
However I always park with the front to the exit, since I might find myself in a situation where I have to drive away very quickly.
It might be anything from a dumpster truck about to block the street to some kind of family emergency.
I have the 20 seconds now but I can't be sure I will have them in the morning.
IDEs are dead in the age of agentic coding. Trying to find the stable point of agentic coding is like trying to catch a falling knife. Will you still need to look at diffs? I for one no longer make any edits, as a policy - I either tell the agent to fix it, or tweak a skill or memory or doc so it doesn't make the same mistake a second time, or configure something adversarial. But does that continue indefinitely?
Say what? I rather have my agents talking to my IDEs.
There's still room for something vaguely IDE shaped, but it's not going to be code oriented.
> It is so remarkably slow, and I cannot begin to understand these people that are telling me that it runs fast. Granted, I tend to run older hardware Always hard to interpret these complaints when the author won't reveal what hardware they're talking about, other than that it's old. I think Zed is a great option for someone who is both highly critical of load times and has older hardware. I would not have recommende…

This makes no sense. In either case the car traverses the same space once forwards and once backwards.
That's true, but what GP is saying is that when you're pulling out, you are traversing the part of the space overwhelmingly more likely to contain passing pedestrians and vehicles with full visibility. And then some parking spots require parallel parking which is best done via backing up anyway.
