I miss this workflow sometimes. I started out as a c++ dev with a light weight vim + make workflow. I didn't really want an ide. I didn't have to configure much and I knew the libraries well enough that auto-completions didn't really interest me.

After getting a few full stack web projects made me jump to vscode. There's too many libraries and languages to juggle. Going without a smarter editor starts feeling like leaving time (aka money) on the table.
