I empathize with this, as this was true the first several years in my career.
Self-doubt then crept in: if I rely on the IDE as a crutch, do I really know the programming language and tools that well?
Then I put myself through the grinder and learned how to program without anything but vim/notepad and command line.
Yes, it’s hard work, but now, I can use ANY editor to learn any programming language ecosystem.
Try it, you’ll understand a lot more than what’s inside the IDE box.
