I agree with Odin creator here. I am not sure when or why we have come to a conclusion in our professional industry that "real software engineer uses vim/emacs/insert your CLI editor here" type of mental model. Is it just the testosterone level speaking here?
Decades ago, really. Before IDEs were remotely as capable as they are now, it was just generally assumed you'd advance from a basic text editor like notepad or nano into vim or emacs.
This must be an online thing. In 15+ years of career I haven't yet heard "real software engineer...". If you get your work done no one cares how the hell you accomplish it
