You onboard new hires to an editor? That's ... surprising to say the least.

It's not that out of the way. The previous place I worked, we had to help new hires get their editor set up, because most of them hadn't used Ruby/Rails before and didn't know what they'd need. We had an onboarding doc that helped you get started with Code + Solargraph, RubyMine or Sublime + Solargraph so they'd have features they'd have used in other languages. Apart from that, we'd also have to guide them through getting the editor set up to do things like format on save etc. to ensure the codebase was clean.
