Vim ftw!
I should fork vim and call it 'death', so I can shout "give me vim or give me death!" any time someone suggests a different editor.

Nope, not a sell out. Just a person using the tools at hand. You can't just live in the past. You did it without Google back then because there was no Google and you had to use what you had to use. Now you use Google, because again, you have to use what you have to use. In the end, I personally only care about the outcome.
I just chose to use tools to make my life easier
If you don't then I'd call you stupid. Keep doing that, friend. That's the best way actually. You want your life easier so you can put out great work.
Google went live in 98? First Arch in 02?

Yay! Cencorship! I spent an extra 3 seconds focusing on the word psychopath trying to figure out what went wrong instead of reading it like a normal word. Isn’t that so much better than offending an algorithm with the letter ‘h’?

I still remember my Masters degree in distributed computing. C++ in vi (not even vim), monochromatic display, 36 computers working together to give me a bunch of SIGSEGV.
The joys of distributed algorithms. You can now get more errors, more quickly than before!
I remember writing a chat system in assembler, for DOS, using, IIRC, IPX networking. When it went wrong, one or more machines would just freeze, with the string "NETWORK ABEND" in the middle of the screen.

I'm talking about developers in general before even Linux was a thing. I thought that was obvious in my comment. Guess not, I need to work more on my English.

Someone at work was shocked I was using RubyMine and not VSCode or Cursor. Am I getting old now ?

I understood your point fine. I indeed started out with first Commodore BASIC and then into 6502, all using the manuals because there wasn't much else of a source back then.

Your English is fine. The same words often evoke different mental images from one person to another. Sometimes I have trouble distinguishing when to embrace literal meanings and when to go with the general gist of words. Thanks for addressing my comment, a gentle reminder for me.

I had an internship 15 years ago where I was forced to write C++ with no internet access. I had to use a programming manual and man pages.
Like an animal.

Back in my day we would program using office hole puncher and going to a library every time we needed to look up some API information.
