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.

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.
