Quite often it's vim/emacs with a crazy collection of plugins and custom-written scripts where the most powerful tool is a fuzzy search.
Surprisingly few people know what an actual powerful IDE can even do.
I know several world class developers who have invented corner stone technologies that use text editors without any plugins and just run the compiler in a separate window. It turns out that you actually are not held back by not having your hand held by an IDE, it was just a skill issue.
Most of the time in these discussions it's revealed that no, they don't.
The rest is a non-sequitur

I am not even particularly bullish on AI, but not seeing how LLMs have made IDEs irrelevant is like using Vim and crying foul about IDEs without trying one out.
