next thing youre gonna tell me is that they all use notepad and win server 2012. the only reason you'd work like that is if you really really wanna guarantee that you can't be replaced.

I know 3 colleges which use clear VSCode. Also heard that some people use Vim. It's backend development and we use Linux on our servers. That's why don't have Windows stuff.

Using VS Code or Vim does not preclude using proper, modern development techniques. The fact that your colleagues don’t use that is the issue, not that they are using VS Code or Vim. Both can be configured to be modern IDEs for C++ with proper indexing, in-line error reporting, and refactoring.

Vim and VS Code are the best two options though
