    You can code in a text editor. It is cumbersome and annoying, but possibly.

    You should however use a good ide if you want to be productive

      Honestly most good text editors should support LSP these days, which at the very least gives a good IDE. That way you can somewhat decouple the dev environment from the text editor, bar a few exception languages that are harder to work with.

      i think it really depends on what you want to do, what languages you use and what text editor/ide you use. From my experience its usually not really worth it to get used to an IDE for bash. They all sucked. So instead I just have my emacs and my shell and I can start coding.

        Yeah bash is sth that doesn’t require an ide, but I usually have intellij already open so it helps me with bash too.

        It depends.

        You don’t want to write Java or kotlin in a text editor and gather the terminal commands for compiling and stuff when you could use an ide for that.

        However there is not much difference writing C in an editor and compile it with make than using an ide. But in both cases I would prefer an ide.

        The only reason why I would not use one is when there are incompatibilities or other special setups that make using an ide more work than an editor
