It’s not a bottleneck for anyone.

Some people just like playing with tools. They do it for loads of reasons, but end of the day it’s basically a hobby tangentially related to software development.

I torment a friend of mine who talks all the time about VIM and their most recent config/workflow. But end of day, he’s happy and having fun while being productive.



I feel that your last point is underappreciated. I enjoy my work more if I enjoy using my tools, and I enjoy using vim.
