I could not agree with this more. I've worked on projects with some unholy combination of (gnu) Makefiles and VS Solutions. I've never "got" Visual Studio and have always found it very jarring -- but I mostly don't use windows much, and that always feels like it has a way of thinking that is...very orthogonal to mine. KDevelop has honestly been the best "not in your face" IDE I've personally found. I mostly do not do any MacOS programming, but when I have occasionally played, I've realised that xcode is brilliant but it seems like it utterly reinvents itself every major revision number. Eclipse, something I rarely-if-never used has sunk from a popular zeitgeist without a trace. Many of my colleagues (in a medical imaging setting) use jupyter, RStudio or Matlab, occasionally venturing into julia.
The winds shift, and the ship of progress sails a direction that is difficult to chart, but vim....vim never changes, and for that I am very glad.
