VIM has syntax highlight and autocompletion, like any other descent IDE.
Not every IDE and text editor have type hinting. Not every vim setup has even syntax highlighting and autocompletion, for example.
What I said is that an editor/IDE is as essential as version control
Which is not correct. Even FTP example provided by you is a (poor) variant of version control. CI builds your code without using editor/IDE. Same can do you from command line.
Stop trying to build that strawman out of "my taste", when I never said that.
Your opinion about essentiality of editor/IDE is not technically justified, so this is just your preference or just taste.
What I said is that anyone that codes for living uses an editor/IDE, and if you use that you get the benefits of coding without typing the return of functions.
And this is not correct for two reasons - editor/IDE not always available and not every editor/IDE has type hinting.
I'm arguing what you said that we need a return type to "keep the context", when in reality any descent code editor or IDE provides that context without the need of typing the return.
I already told you, that this is your project, your code, your rules. I'm not arguing with you. But for some reason you still arguing with me and trying to convince that your point of view (based on your taste - see above) is better than mine (technically justified and based on decades of experience). I really hope that you'll never by in situation when your economy of few typed characters will not bite you hard. That said I see no point continuing discussion. Good luck.
