I hate those YouTube videos "turn vim into an IDE". The people who watch those only care about bragging that they use vim, nothing else.
Of course, you say, driving some expensive car means you get more attention, right? Well, yes, and it doesn't make you any better of a person...if your text editor is your car and people care about what car you drive, then maybe it also gets you some attention...
But yes it is sad that we get wrapped up in the unimportant things in life. Good to have some escapes, too, though.
But sure I guess you're right, as long as there is an audience willing to listen you can brag about anything. I can count on one hand people in my real life circle who would care about me using emacs.
Cars are different, they are related to economical accomplishment, which is more universally accepted as something to brag about.
No?
Some people want to know how to get IDE features such as errors, goto definition and type inlay hints into their editor of choice.
It's frankly hilarious to think that "it's only for bragging rights". It says more about you than anyone else.
And I think the people who watch these would be better off using a regular IDE. The only reason someone would watch that is so they can haphazardly configure vim to mimic their existing workflow. I don't know. Maybe I'm being too judgemental.
