    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.

      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

            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
