It&#x27;s 100% preference. I prefer Vim.<p>An IDE feels like I&#x27;m learning to use a piece of software. It doesn&#x27;t interest me to become a Eclipse&#x2F;VisualStudio&#x2F;etc. expert. I&#x27;m most comfortable in front of the command prompt. I like to write my own tools and play around with utilities. If I didn&#x27;t enjoy that, an IDE would be very compelling.
