I am a Developer Advocate for Security in Mobile Apps and APIs at approov.io.
Another passion is the Elixir programming language that was designed to be concurrent, distributed and fault tolerant.

I enjoy Sublime Text, and run it from inside a Docker Container.
I tried VSCode for several times, but is to slow for a Sublime Text user.
Jetbrain products are even slower for a Sublime Text user, and it looks like you need to take a course just to learn to work with them... I am looking at you Android Studio ;)
One of my required questions when being interviewed for a new job is about the tools being used, and if I am free to choose what Operating System and editor I will use. If I am not free to choose them then I drop the offer at that stage. In my opinion each developer should be free to work with the tools he feels more productive with.
This is imo pretty extreme, in a lot of cases a company can have a reason to harmonize tooling and to just dismiss this because of your preference makes you look inflexible.
There are more tools that work than just Sublime editor

Not saying the opposite.

I recognize it can be seen as an extreme position, but I am a Developer because of passion, not just because it's on more profession, therefore I prefer to work with the tools I like, provided that they do not affect the expected results from me.
This being said I don't see why I can't use my preferred editor where I feel it is better for me. For example to code Android Apps I just use Android Studio(see my orignal comment), despite my dislike of it, I recognize that is more productive to use it, then using Sublime.
What is "extreme" is companies "forcing" developers to use certain Operating Systems, I am looking at using MACs to develop for Linux, and then resorting to VMs to run the code, really!!! Ok I forgot that using a MAC is often more about status and aesthetics then about using the right tool for the job.
My philosophy is that If I need to code in .net I will use a Windows OS, If I need to code an iOS App I will use a MAC computer, and for the rest I will use a Linux OS.
How’s it going, I'm a Adam, a Full-Stack Engineer, actively searching for work. I'm all about JavaScript. And Frontend but don't let that fool you - I've also got some serious Backend skills.

If we race editors there would be a clear winner 🐌🐌🐌🐌, but as a choice thing I choose the greater good haha.
I totally agree it should never be enforced, and wasn't for me. But there is a lot to be said for flexibly switching tools. Am I as productive right now, probably at about 50% but it's not too much of a stretch that I will be next month. I am new anyway so perfect time to re-evaluate.

I forced me to work with VSCode for two months in a row, but when I went back to Sublime to open a huge file***, and felt it's difference in speed I was simply not able to go back to VScode again.
*** Sublime Text is the only editor I know that really handles huge text files, like csv ones, VSCode just freezes.

I keep doing it time to time, but I always go back to Sublime Text, but I will give another try to VSCode in the future.
