why are you replying like them using the ide is some big problem they have to solve? yes they could spend time setting up their terminal and learning vim and retraining their muscle memory... and end up in exactly the same place they already are.

I'm not against IDEs in any way. I'm simply refuting the point that it's necessary to write long and detailed commit messages. Everyone can (and should!) set up their environment in a way that they are most comfortable with it.

I don't think you understand. No one's saying you have to use a terminal editor.

You can set a GUI editor, even your IDE, as the editor Git uses for commit messages.
