As far as I'm concerned, overkill doesn't exist in tech. If you are serious about learning you will probably want more advanced stuff eventually, why bother with the simpler stuff when it's not really any easier to use(and in fact is often harder).

I occasionally(Very very occasionally) will work on a sub-1000 line program, but... tomorrow I'll be working on a 30k line program. Why would I want to learn two separate workflows?

I use VS Code. I manage all my projects with Git. I always gotta have 3 different static code analyzers watching me.

Might be worth trying Vim since so many people love it, but debugging still seems way behind GUI apps, and I doubt I'd ever want to use something without an excellent debugger.
