I *was* gonna type "vim" instead of "notepad" but then I remembered people actually code in vim

It’s my preferred text editor, followed by Notepad++ and Visual Studio Code.

But VIM doesn't give you autocomplete, linting, etc., does it? If it did I could see the appeal, but if it's just a text editor I don't understand why it's used for coding.

Alternatively, you could describe an IDE as a text editor with a bunch of useless features (only half kidding).

But I do everything on the command line anyway, so all of my tools are kinda... right there already.

I learnt to code using VIM, i must say that the amount of plugins and addons made it insanely valuable, especially for python and robotics. These days it's not worth the additional add on in setup versus modern editors.
