some backstory: i ran vim for about a decade, then switched my daily driver to vs code when i landed in big tech. everyone around me lived in a gui, and i got tired of being the odd one out. it was fine. version control in a panel, a debugger one click away, click a filepath in the output and land on the line. it lowers the floor. but every reading motion was a second layer bolted on: a menu to find, a panel to define, a click to chase a reference. then ai made reading the whole job, and i went back to the editor whose resting state is moving through code, not typing into it. so i switched back to Vim. one afternoon it took me until lunch to notice my mouse had died. i'd been moving through code all morning and never reached for it. i found out i was home again.   submitted by   /u/iGotYourPistola [link]   [comments]
