This is one thing that bugs me. The editors and environments haven't been improving dramatically. Emacs is 40+ years old at this point, and still as hard to learn as ever. The 1970s Unix-like OS is still at the core of most dev-environments, despite people having better ideas since then (e.g. Inferno.) Sure, there have been incremental improvements to the editors and OSs since their inception, but there were no major revolutions. It has always seemed to me that the story of improved programming environments is driven more by improved hardware than improved software, and that companies like Microsoft/JetBrains are the only ones who've even bothered to wonder if its possible to create a better environment for programming than "arcane text editor."
