In my experience, the most productive editor I've used hasn't been IDE's, which usually are laggy, nor even JetBrain's products. I haven't yet found an alternative which can compare to the raw power of my customized neovim, which has all the functionality of an IDE, all the speed of a terminal CLI, and the intuition learned over years of use.

Yes once you get used to one and can use it to its full potential it simply works, no need to think about other tools.

All one has to do is find the one that works best for them.

If you can afford a few cups of coffee a month, you can as well pay a monthly subscription for an IDE such as webstorm. In my country is 2 cups of coffee...

Sure OSS alternative are free. But if you take into account an amount of time IDE is saving you, you will understand that you receive much more in return. Especially when you do a refactor of a project with lots of files.

I agree, paying a small amount for efficiency when that job is paying is you is not bad. Since I am student now I chose to go for OSS.
