> In the past when I've tried to use IDEs, I've often given up within minutes because they would keep doing things that disrupt my flow

All the things that can be turned off/tuned. Strange that you don't spend the time learning the tool you admonish others for using

I don't in any way "admonish others for using" IDEs and I have no idea where that accusation came from.

And no, of course I'm not going to spend time learning an IDE that someone else recommended to me. I spend my tool-learning time on tools that I selected because I expected them a priori to be useful for me.

Arguably, they did turn it off: the whole IDE, at once.
