W...what? What did you use an IDE for? "cp, mv, rm to manipulate the files and less, nohup, kill, ps, htop, etc" ???
How on earth would you do htop inside, idk, IDEA?

I work with Shell script, Python, Go, Scala and a bit of Java and JS. Intellij IDEA, GoLand, PyCharm and Atom.
Of course I won't open up an IDE to rename a file, run a process with nohup, or check for a stuck process. I'll use an IDE to code, an editor to edit, and a terminal for all the rest.
Right tool for the right job. That's why you should delete your IDE, if you don't use it; or not to, if you use it.

Still, OverOps is a cool product.
