Comment on Ask HN: What modern “legendary” programmer prefers IDE other than Vim or Emacs?parent

Comments

Let me respectfully disagree. Tooling is super important in any trade but in programming it can make be multiplier (all other things being equal).

It's like saying "What modern olympic gold medal runners prefer Adidas shoes over Nike?", with the implication that Adidas shoes are inferior in some way.

They are olympians, you're not. Use whatever shoes you want to use.

Tooling does matter, but what "legendary programmers" tooling looks like doesn't outside of a professional curiosity.
