You’re insane to recommend emacs and vim to beginners. You’re right that you dont need IntelliJ, but vi and emacs for complete beginners seems a bit stretched.

The better recommendation would be VsCode or Sublime using the eclipse language server.
- sralbert 5y agoI'm not sure about emacs, but I don't think there is anything wrong with teaching vim to new programmers. I learned it along with Java in my first programming course. I think it should be presented as an option along with other editors, though.
