> I don't think any VR headsets are going to offer better experiences than Intellij or VS Code.

What I mean to ask is whether tools like this are sufficiently legible on a 2D screen as displayed by MQ3, with a VR desktop? Or to see it well do the fonts have to be so large that there isn't enough room to work?

I only have the Quest 1, which in my experience felt closer to a 900p screen in your field of view. Not great, but you could comfortably read a full-sized terminal if you wanted. And of course, you can move your head around to navigate more if needed.

It's better than you'd expect, given the age and price. My bigger concern is that I just don't want to work in VR. Once the novelty wore off, I just wanted to use a normal computer again. I had much better experience with entertainment like 3D movies and Half Life Alyx/Beat Saber.
