But if everyone did that, there wouldn't be any evidence of a widespread problem, and everyone would think they're doing it wrong.

I use Sublime (and sometimes Atom) with Vim bindings 💫

@dfox so far we really like it. We weighted our "interest in using it" pretty heavily. But it has all (or close to all) the native things you'd need, and they're just an `npm install` away. Plus, we have a website written in React already, so we can share code with it. We also really like the debugging and the live reload—not having to wait for stuff to compile is a big plus. The flip side of that is not having a compiler to catch syntax errors, etc, but eh.

I can't wait until I'm pairing with someone and use that alias

We recently did a bakeoff between it and React Native. There are some cool things about it (native UI, ease of integrating with our existing CI/build chain, F# support, etc.), but we went with React for a few more reasons. I don't think it's "there" yet in terms of F#, but will be in a few months' time probably. Also, Xamarin Studio is nice, except we can't use it because we're a corp (but Mono made that potential pain point null).

@thedevone yeah do it, it's pretty nice. My first introduction to it was trying out RspecHue.

Ugh, I hate that. We have a pre commit hook for linting so our code reviews can focus on design and implementation.

@thedevone thanks! TBH, if the Philips Hue API weren't so easy to work with, I think my Pi would still be in its box, sitting on my desk and collecting dust.

To add another perspective to @Marius' comment, my husband and I are both SWE, and we make time to do and discover new things AFK. I have my own interests outside of work/programming and so does he, and we enjoy sharing those with one another. It's not like we sit at home refactoring and pair programming all the time or applying agile methodologies to our grocery shopping and laundry.
