They jump to such tools, because they are not that invested in making and having the optimal tool for their job, and don't want to spend time setting things up. Especially, not in their own time, if they even do any projects in their own time at all. Lots and lots of people in IT are not that dedicated or passionate about the work.

I know the shortcuts, everyone has the same "run configurations" (start app, remote debug etc.), starting gradle tasks from UI, git comment style.

You should have them come to your desk if you want to be the one running the show. Everyone can have their own environment and they translate what you say to their own methods and it helps them learn. This isn’t an episode of NCIS.
- Mashimo 1mo agoIf they ask me for help, why should I not give a quick example? On some hard tasks we sometimes switch to codes. Must be a cultural thing, I never heard about not touching a coworkers keyboard when working together.
