I think how you learned to code does sort of shape your coding.
I'm very much from the opposite camp. I learned to code in C in vi and didn't really have anyone to ask other than the manpages and the K&R book, I'm pretty sure I didn't even use syntax highlighting.
I do think this has shaped my programming even later to where I stubbornly stick to boring but stable programming languages like C, C++ and Java, and these languages I've used for in some cases almost 25 years and where I virtually never have to look anything up. It's not like I haven't dabbled in other languages and paradigms, like python and haskell and whatever; but it's not those languages I use when I need to build something. I just don't see the value in constantly learning all this flavor-of-the-month stuff. When the dust settles, most hyped upcoming programming languages become footnotes when the history of programming is written.
