The bell curve of IDE preferences shows the full spectrum of developer evolution. On the left, junior devs with barely enough experience to compile "Hello World" happily use free text editors. In the middle, the financially masochistic mid-level devs shell out hundreds for JetBrains subscriptions and swear their productivity justifies it. Meanwhile, on the right, battle-hardened senior devs who've seen IDEs come and go have circled back to Vim or some obscure terminal-based editor they've used since the Clinton administration. The truly enlightened know that paying for an IDE is just Stockholm syndrome with syntax highlighting.
