I have already asked about it yesterday.

Why are programmers so obsessed with text editors? And what the fuck makes them worth so much cash? That's disgusting.

This is a little more than just a text editor but still a rip off aimed squarely at PHBs I don't think anyone but middle management takes this seriously.

Those aren’t text editors. Those are IDEs. IDEs are designed to help the programmer and essentially do a lot of the work for them. They help with things like automatically filling things in, listing the parameters for methods and functions, finding all uses of a given variable, that sort of thing. They do some of the work for you and junior developers often rely on IDEs as a crutch. These tools are sophisticated and are above and beyond what a text editor offers. That’s why people pay for them.

They’re also mega gay and I’ve never been a fan of them. They tend to obstruct the programmer a lot of the time. It’s like trying to make a sharp turn on a bicycle with training wheels on it.

I have grows a deep hate for them at uni.

I had a slow laptop, and while I was there, EVERY SINGLE TEACHER wanted us to use a different "PERFECT EXITOR"...

So much fucking bloat for nothing. Especially, since 3/4 of them were payed shit, that I couldn't use after I left the school anyway.

I’m not a fan of IDEs. I know some guys who are. I’m also not a fan of people who insist that their preferred toolbag is the oBjEcTiVeLy cOrReCt one, since you bring up the PERFECT EDITOR. It’s all so tiresome man. But yeah, every time I decide to give IDEs a try, they’re massively bloated and just get in my fucking way too much.
