On: A common trap for people entering programming jobs

[spyke112]

So the question from the survey was: "Which development environments did you use regularly over the past year, and which do you want to work with over the next year? Please check all that apply. "

So respondents could check multiple. I would definitely check Vim, because I use it often, but I'm not using it as my primary text editor/IDE, but that would count towards Vim anyways - as I understand the survey. From my own experience, most developers use some kind of IDE, but that may be a Danish quirk. Most people still joke about not being able to exit Vim.

I don't think there was any mention of Vim as main editor in this thread. Just that it's helpful to know it, and I think that makes sense.

Most people make boring jokes. To me that "exiting Vim" joke is becoming even more annoying than the "only 10 kinds of people" one.

Exactly, I think most people use vim when doing stuff on the command line. It's easier to open a config file in vim and make a change when you're poking around than it is to load it in VS code.
