What's people's thoughts on learning languages with basic editors first before switching to IDEs?
Especially with scala/sbt I feel like no mortal is able to contribute to a project unless they use the same version of the same IDE (which then effectively becomes a hard dependency of the entire project).
Should I give in and learn to bundle the editor with the projects?
This feels wrong. Programming is not CAD. Or is it?

I chose to use rustfmt so I could spend more time worrying about what my code was doing as I modified it and less time over what any Rust style guide might say. I chose to not use anything else though. My focus was on learning the language and not getting a project done. With that in mind, I wanted the learning process of digging through the documentation to become familiar with what is available rather than just doing "auto complete programming".
