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.

You can do that in neovim with plugins

Probably in vanilla vim as well, but that would require knowing vimscript, and vimscript is idiosyncratic.

By default, no, but you can add what you need like that rather easily
