> With no previous experience I opened vim and started coding. That is where i stopped reading. If you're not using an IDE in 2021, you're not working on serious software/big codebases/commercial projects and what you have to say is not something I'm interested in, ESPECIALLY when talking about UX of programming! VIM, oh please... time to have a nap, grandpa.

Obviously, you never spent a minute trying to configure Vim. Vim is a fully featured IDE, learning to use it efficiently can greatly increase your productivity, and most important: it's also fun. > VIM, oh please... time to have a nap, grandpa. Such disrespect, all that's missing from your snarky comment is "ok boomer"...

I work on some serious commercial big and old code base using Eclipse and NeoVim every time that I touch XML, SCSS or JavaScript files. Correctly configurators, VIM/NeoVIM it's better IDE for CSS/SCSS and JavaScript that Eclipse

You need to learn how to code without crutches. IDEs are great, and people should definitely use them, but I’ve met too many programmers who just are lost without them. The worst example was a guy who couldn’t even navigate his own small program except with the debugger. Even though he wrote this small program himself, he didn’t managed to have a mental image of the call stack. So, some of you who rely on the IDE all the time maybe need to do without it a little to train some muscles that have atrophied.
