So nobody can give the opposing view point? I use both IDEs and Text Editors depending on the language. I use jetbrains for kotlin/java, and moved from vim to vscode for javascript and any other scripting language (also switched from VS to VSCode for .net) I find developers who try to force their tools on others annoying. I'm much more productive on scripting languages with an editor. They just feel more responsive.

Of course you can disagree with that! I have written great amounts of all sorts of projects in text editors instead of an IDE. And yes, text editors come in different flavours. VS Code/Sublime Text isn’t the same as Notepad. That being said, the person I replied didn’t make a case of VS Code in any way. The OP asked what to use instead of a text editor like Sublime Text, and the reply was simply “Just use VS Code”. That’s not an argument in any way, that’s just a statement.
