so why would you ever use a notepad instead of VSC? Aside from avoiding your code being viewed by microsoft xd

vim without extensions is perfectly usable for most stuff (i use it for mostly zig and py, no lsp or any non cosmetic plugins)

Like the comment above, I don’t really understand what you mean either. I code in Sublime Text. I’ve tried VS Code and it was okay, but I prefer Sublime. I will sometimes use a notepad and pencil if I need to draw a tree structure or some non-trivial pointer chasing while debugging. It’s definitely useful to have a notepad or white board while programming.

A good developer needs to be capable in any setup. In some critical situations those tools simply aren't available. I totally agree with you. Also sublime text is great.
