That's an expensive experiment to try, so I probably won't do it, but what does the green arrow checkmark mean? That my code lints? I use Syntastic most of the time, which just runs a linter like flake8 and then puts a red arrow next to offending lines. It runs every time I save, and I generally take its feedback right away because the slight shift to the right when the arrows are present nudges me to fix them. Definitely not saying anyone else should use Vim if they don't want to, just that Vim is part of my productivity superpower and I take offense to it when part of the onboarding experience is setting up an IDE and someone really pushes it on me.

Yes, the green checkmars means that the code is lint-free (up to a point). The Jetbrains linters are proprietary, though they can integrate Open Source ones, and generally better and more thorough than Open Source ones. They're especially better for professional development where you use various frameworks. > I take offense to it when part of the onboarding experience is setting up an IDE and someone really pushes it on me. That's fine, but being a part of a team sometimes requires sacrifices. It's as true in football as it is in software engineering :-) Plus I'm sure reasonable teams just leave you alone if you do your job well and your setup doesn't intrude on what everyone else is doing.
