I’m a junior backend software engineer. I use a Vim plugin on my fancy code editor. I like the command line but I’m not all in on it or anything.

If I was a Windows user I’d switch. But being a Mac user I have a lot of what I need for software development.

What am I missing out on? Genuine question.

    When I started using Linux a good 25 or so years ago, I wasn’t super techie by any stretch. But I was captured by Stallman and the GPL and the philosophy behind it. I have always been more than willing to deal with the pain or limitations just because I believed in the philosophy. These days it’s much easier as so many things Just Worktm out of the box. But you are right, everyone has to decide their own values and morals, and the compromises we make with ourselves.
