and if I do not want the GUI part, how come it surprises you that I do not use that superset?
Go ahead and represent an arbitrary 3d shape using the command line, suddenly you may realize that a typewriter’s interface isn’t the fastest for accomplishing every programming task.
Regardless, you can be happy with a limited subset of functionality and trying to cram every interaction into text, that’s not an argument that that way is better or that a new dev should go that route, just that you can get by using that method.
K, now give me the longest edge and it’s displacement relative to the x axis. Then rotate the shape until that edge is roughly 33 degrees off the z axis.
Oh wow, look, suddenly it may be helpful to have a way other than text to draw and visualize things.
So I re-state the same n-th time over: I, and many other devs, have no need to draw anything. So I, and many other devs, will choose whatever works for us, and there is exactly nothing wild in doing so
Have you tried using VSCode / VSCodium? I’ve tried using a VIM based workflow and found myself missing many graphical dev features in VSCode.
And sure, there’s nothing wild about continuing to use a process that works for you, but it is a little wild to insist that your process is the best and other people should learn it, if you also know that it has inherent limitations that alternatives don’t.
Tried, it irritates me. And nope, I never said my workflow is the best. I answered to your “wild” part. There is nothing wild in coding in vim. And yes, people proclaiming vim family is the greatest thing there is are no better than people proclaiming that only full-fledged IDE can get any job done

Lol I am not making 3d shapes in the first place. Anyway, here ya go: 1,2,3
4,5,6
7,8,9
10,11,12
Do you need an explanation for that?

It may be, but really it doesn’t even matter to me. I will choose the tool that can do that using command line anyway
Fair enough!
Ya, sure. wild that professional software development does not begin and end with 3d shapes. Great worldvew, thanks
My worldview is that it’s wild to choose a dev tool chain incapable of drawing basic 2d shapes, when you have ones available that can do anything.

Also, vim-like mode in IDE gives me a headache too :)

Fair point, I misspoke / don’t actually think that it’s wild, I was being dramatic.
Then I offer my apologies for speaking too harshly. And thank you for another perspective on software, I did not think about shapes much before
