One of my colleagues uses PyCharm, while at the same time using Vim somewhere
else (for both Python and not Python). This frustrated me a little every time
he asked me to his terminal in a similar fashion I'm annoyed by somebody using
GUI for the simplest task I could do in a single command. In both cases I try
to keep comments to myself, at least now that I'm a little wiser than I was
five-to-ten years ago.
It takes a lot of patience not to throw such "good-natured crap" if one is
proficient with more-basic-yet-powerful tools. It needs wisdom to recognize
that people do things their own way because it's more effective for them at
the moment, and it's hard to change one's habits on a whim at arbitrary times.
It gives me much better results to call others to my terminal to show them
some interesting thing; they are in much better condition to learn a new Vim
command or CLI tool (this way I successfully exposed two colleagues to AWK,
what I planned for a long time).
