Unfortunately I’m not in the path of totality but I am pretty close

I was taught coding using IDEs. After I discovered that they aren’t even necessary for debuging and compiling, I said “What’s the point?” And I’ve just been using text editors ever since.
It’s fine. Super flexible platform for any development environment. I’d take it over Notepad++.
Why not use VIM though?
I don’t like having to unplug my computer to exit the IDE. Takes a while and I often lose my changes.
Pro tip: Press Esc, then type
:w
which means “write” to save the changes, and then unplug the computer and reboot.
It’s not so bad TBH. As in if I couldn’t get IntelliJ on my machine, I’d use it.
I’d go out of my way to install the necessary plugins on vscode before I’d use Eclipse. I can’t even figure out how to open my damn project that I accidentally closed FFS!!
You’ve fallen into my trap card, I really just wanted everyone else’s eclipse photos here
