I think anyone that says there is “one true way” to be productive is probably selling something (or they’re suffering from some kind of sunk cost fallacy).
If you have something that works for you then that’s great, personally I see the appeal of intellij IDEs (I’m a very light user of PyCharm)- but most of the time I end up in the terminal.
My personal belief is that terminal programs have a much higher learning curve in the beginning but can be much more powerful in the mid to long term, and the constraints of not using graphical elements or being able to place anything anywhere actually leads to a more cut down and consistent experience.
I’d be using Mutt if it weren’t for the extreme prolificaction of html in emails.
But yes, YMMV and I dont think we have to be zealots about how we work unless you put constraints on other people for working much different. (For instance if I tried to force everyone to send text-only emails)
I still use Mutt, combined with offlineimap (due to exchange mail server), w3m for for converting mails from HTML, using markdown to write email, and pandoc to format back to HTML... Works like a charm!
Did not find any other mail client (although tried mailspring etc) with such powerfull customizations, nothing even close to Mutt.
