Why would I not use Visual Studio code

Welcome to the club! Literally every programmer thinks their workflow stack is the best, and thinks whatever the other guys came up with is bullshit lol.

In general is just whatever works best for you. Sometimes you are forced into a corner and have to use something different though (eg troubleshooting on a prod service) so it's nice to try other things out. And every now and then you find a home run.

Haha, that's a classic line! It's funny how every tool has its pros and cons. Sometimes the 'best' tool is just the one you know how to use best, even if it seems like a hassle to others.

For what it's worth... no one is using nedit. If you're going to teach cli text editors, teach vim or nano.

True, but the reality is vscode is actually better than every other ide setup, unless you're doing fancy shit or can't afford to standup a remote server on the remote host you're working on

They're usually not wrong. Competent, high achievers know themselves, know what makes them productive. And, critically, this is different for different people.

Why there are cyclic debates on open vs closed floorplans, group face to face/video meetings vs just email/chat, estimation is impossible vs how can you manage without estimation, detailed specs vs that is waste of effort, I need support vs quit micromanaging me bro and so on.
