Im considering spending some serious time learning one of the above. Two principle engineers I work with exclusively use them, and watching them work is incredible, the speed they move and get things done is pure wizadry. Can anyone learn this skill? For what it’s worth, the alternative is learning VScode. I’ve exclusive used Android Studio in my career.
I think it’s worth it mostly because it’s really not hard to get to a point where you’re equally as efficient as you were before, and from there the sky’s the limit.
It’s also really nice not to have to open a full gui to make quick edits to files.
For me though, it’s not even the efficiency which brought me to it, it’s that it just feels so much nicer to use. Someone once told me it’s like using a really nice pen: it’s not going to make you a better writer but it will make writing a hell of a lot more enjoyable.
