Does everyone really just use vim? This one surprised me as a problem.

You only need an IDE if you’re dealing with lots of symbols and a complicated module system (Java, .Net). That’s when you need a code indexing tool. For a lot of language, a text editor is enough.

Vim with ale is pretty great in any language with a language server that I've tried.
