    I honestly don’t get it. I had to use it on a job until recently and needed a few plugins for it to be useful. Every major plugin either got worse over time or never fully functioned to begin with. On top of that, it was sometimes slow as removed despite me having a rather strong machine.

      It borrowed the concept from old editor such emacs. It is a modern emacs. A single editor to do literally everything via plugins. The idea is that one needs to learn a single editor to master everything.

      It is very powerful for people who do multiple things. It’s not worthy if the whole job is to simply writing java or c#. In that case a dedicated ide is better
