There is a whole bunch of shells with all kinds of autocomplete. Terminal editors like vim have plugins for autocomplete and integrated documentation. CLI programs typically have -h or --help.
The whole "Terminal vs. IDE" argument is kinda weird. You can have an IDE in a terminal. This whole thing is about CLI/TUI vs. GUI, not terminal vs. IDE.
- hutzlibu 8y ago"this whole thing is about CLI/TUI vs. GUI, not terminal vs. IDE. " Good point. But can you recommend a vim setup with plugins? It has been a while since I tried it, and it was not to my liking, but I was more GUI adopted at that time.
- turbinerneiter 8y agoI'm the wrong guy to ask, I kinda dislike IDEs. I use vscode sometimes, exactly for the code completion and integrated documentation you mentioned. But I often use vim for the lack of that. Every helper can also be a distraction, every functionality is an interface you have to learn. Right now, I only have formatters (which also work as syntax checkers).
