Im considering spending some serious time learning one of the above. Two principle engineers I work with exclusively use them, and watching them work is incredible, the speed they move and get things done is pure wizadry. Can anyone learn this skill? For what it’s worth, the alternative is learning VScode. I’ve exclusive used Android Studio in my career.

    Complete heathen here. emacs with evil-mode FTW. Or better yet: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs

    What everyone here is echoing: the bindings in these editors (and particularily I would argue in vi/vim) is the secrect behind the wizardry. The principle is your hands never leave the keyboard and you never have to dialog surf. Any mainstream IDE (Vcode;IntelliJ) will have a bindings plugin. I’d honestly quit programming if I had to use and editor without.
