I routinely throw away whatever text editor I'm using and pick up a new one. Probably once a year. On occasion, the replacement text editor is one I've wrote (usually at that time). I find it helps me write code that other people can understand and use. IDK why the text editor has such a big impact. Maybe the frustrations of certain actions in certain editors discourages those actions and subtly biases the code I write. I've not dug into it too deeply. The one thing I hate is managing plugins and configs. This stems from my other habit of trying a new OS every year, too. The only way to keep a consistent config across all of these states is to just accept the default config as the one, true config. If a feature is good enough to be a plugin, it's good enough to be in the software. I've been very keen to go on another text editor adventure, this time with focus on creating a good experience on mobile devices.
