Anyone who formats their code manually is a fuck there I said it.

Also stop using a tool that has no contextual understanding of your code. You're wasting more so much fucking time trying to guess shit that an ide would automatically know and doing stuff that an ide would automatically do.

    YEA, SUCK A FUCK MANUAL FORMATTER

    If notepad had smart indent, multi-caret, regex support, and jump-to-file, I'd be just as productive with it as with a fully-featured ide. Probably moreso due to reduced bloat.

    Fancy features help most while you're learning. Once you're quite comfortable with both coding in general and your language specifically, those same fancy features will occasionally save you some typing and very little else.

    @root can you really argue that you're more productive formatting you document manually, and without the simpliest of tools like contextually aware renaming or contextually aware go to definition etc?

    Smart indent is about all the formatting I'd need. Not having this would cut into productivity a little, but would mostly just annoy me.

    Contextually-aware tools? Honestly, I hardly ever use them. I know Ruby, Rails, and the system I'm maintaining well enough that these tools are only rarely helpful.

    Lacking multi-caret or regex find/replace would absolutely cut into productivity, however. Same with jump to file. I probably use these more than anything else.
