I started coding using Borland Pascal on DOS. I went through many tools and in the end split the terminal / UI work depending on whether the language is actually bound to an IDE or a build system.

E.g.: not using Xcode for iOS dev doesn’t make much sense to me. At work we have a fully set-up IDE that works with our build system. I like QtCreator for C++.

But for web dev, scripting and blog writing, I find programs like VSCode extremely slow even with just minimal plugins. After a couple of years I got fed up and went back to vim in terminal.
