Maybe i just never gave the heavyweight ide tools a fair chance, but i always found them more distracting than helpful. Focus is king for me, and vim gives me that.



I use IDEs with vim keybinds and zen mode (full screen, hide everything except text editor) when writing code.


VSCode is not a heavyweight IDE by any means.


It literally contains a whole browser engine just to render a UI.


Its all relative.
