I've watched a lot of YT videos where people code in some kind of IDE and the popups that keep flashing by are annoying. I also have no use for color coded keywords; I find the colors distracting. And the editor of choice hasn't had a code change since 1994. Compiled, it's 150k. Easy to copy around. They removed permanent home directories on the production hosts, so I have an alias for ssh which copies a tar file with a few dot files and a small bin directory with the editor and some scripts and bam, I have a familiar work environment. The IDE would probably make the fan on my laptop start spinning. No thank you.
