      It’s weird, but I quite often sit on calls watching people who use VSCode taking 2-3 times as long to accomplish the same outcome as I can in my Jetbrains IDE. Either they don’t have the plugin installed rn, or it’s not working atm, or they have too many and it’s gotten slow, etc.

        If it’s a small edit to a single file VScode is often quicker, but if it’s actually working with or developing changes in a larger codebase I find that a well integrated IDE instead of a more basic editor with plugins works better

        And then you see a vim wizard flying through the code at the speed of light, leaving those Jetbrains users behind.

        Just joking, I love vim (wouldn’t call myself a wizard though) but everyone should just use whatever suits them.

        For me jetbrains ides are just not okay. They lag my PC so much that I can’t even play Minecraft 1.8.9 at the same time. The plugin list is so tiny - Rust, Color highlight thingy, and builtins!

        Also personally I don’t like these IDEs just because they aren’t open source - I can’t modify it if I want to, which in this case doesn’t fit the spirit of Rust - making it opensource; the plugin API is so obscure to the point I considered switching to nvim (that was a year ago, not much has changed)
