When I want/need to customize this much, I tend to think poorly of the tool.

I'm guessing you don't like Vim or EMACS then? Or the command line in general?

Most of the development tools I use on a regular basis tend to be extremely customizable, and I regard that as a Good Thing.

To each their own. Sure my coworkers complain about this or that annoyance in WebStorm or whatever that they can't customize or fix, but then they never lost the better half of a day to ~/.vimrc so...

I can see it both ways. I'll choose customization, but I wouldn't fault someone for expecting a good out-of-box setup.

I'm a fan of being customizable. I'm not a fan of practically needing customizations.

My main editors are Vim and VS Code, both of which I find perfectly usable OOTB.

4 aliases and 5 settings (2 require other software, gpg signing and difftool)? I tune more things in my browser.
Just need to read the manual better:
