Sounds like junior web devs working on Javascript pull-in-the-whole-internet code bases. Not criticising your choice, it might be the best solution to your specific challenges; that just does not sound like the environment I work in. If somebody can't configure their own editor and its dependencies, I wouldn't trust them to handle application dependencies in the supply chain either.
Then again, I might pre-date the which editor to use and how to configure it era.
- satvikpendem 4y agoFor seniors, sure that makes sense, use whatever editor you want, but for onboarding juniors, we definitely have a recommended toolset just so we can make sure there aren't incompatibilities and that their productivity is still high, ie having a debugger when needed, using code completion, error checking, linting tools etc. My point is you could configure all this stuff in Vim or Emacs but it's not as straightforward plus it wastes time when onboarding. We'd rather have an IDE like experience.
