Maybe you can shed some more light on the subject. I'm the old school, was doing HTML 20 years ago with TextPad and hated Dreamweaver, then Sublime and laughed at VisualStudio and IDEs in general and how slow they are. Last few years I switched to VSCode and liked it. Now I do buy as fast laptops as I can find, so currently on Dell XPS 15, and everything is fast on it. VScode feels like TextPad 20 years ago. But VSCode pulled me in with some IDE features. Autocomplete i.e. Even moved from pure JS to Typescript just because of that. Lately I'm trying WebStorm and its refactoring is great. I'm loving it so far. Since moving from Win to Linux years ago, I didn't have any stability issues either.
But I do start hating the mouse lately. Probably will try trackball too bit now I'm experimenting with Vim. Just for a few days. Also tile window manager (i3). I'm loving where it goes, and great keyboard navigation but... (finally the question)... How do you live without refactoring, autocomplete, and other efficiency features of IDEs? Those did noticably increase my efficiency.
I never found a refactoring program that was satisying me well enough. And I dont enjoy autocomplete much, especially in vscode where it takes me shorter to type the variable than for good suggestions to actually appear. Maybe I just don't know how to use it right, but I prefer typing everything.
Some features I do use like linters and such.
There are some amazing plugins on vim for all those things. I use "ale" for linting/formatting.
