Having to deal with the "vim guy" in the office, who refuses to believe that people should be allowed to use their editor of choice, and that you are somehow an insuperior developer because you prefer a native GUI.

    Vim is my preferred choice when remoting through ssh to a linux.

    But otherwise I prefer notepad++ for text and vs2016 or linqpad for c#.

    IDE != Editor
    I prefer IDEs if they're not too clunky

    @Bikonja All IDEs are editors but not all editors are IDEs.

    A native gui?

    Notepad++ is a great text editor. Intellij is an amazing IDE

    I use vim often but JetBrains IDEs are my default choice for Java and C#

    When you're learning a new platform, maybe holding off using IDEs for a while might be good.

    When you just want to be productive, choose what makes you more productive.

    I'll use sublime on my computer, but whenever I'm working through a shell I usually have to use vi.. Once you learn how to navigate and issue some commands, I can see why people swear by vim and emacs: Your hands never have to leave the keyboard.

    vim is great when you need to quickly edit a file without having to launch another program or if you're in an ssh session but other than that I prefer to use the IDE.
