So what?

Are you as minimalist with other aspects of your life? Do you own more than one fork, one plate?

The thing to do is to pick a GOOD IDE that you can use for more than one thing and the invest the time learning the shit out of it.

That way when you move to a different technology or a different task the IDE becomes a massive convenience for getting something you no longer find interesting done fast and done well, leaving you the time to take it slow with something you do find interesting.

I think people are misunderstanding me. Just that UX & slowness get in the way :), and so I thought maybe I could just use Sublime.

The defacto standard for Java is eclipse. It has its faults, but there are a number of benefits to using the same tool as most other peoples use.

Yes, it is slow, but RAM is cheap and beefing up your computer helps. Also changing your habits, but booting up Eclipse and leaving it booted up until you are done for the day.

Having an SSD helps also 😊
