Plenty of folks, myself and most of my FOSS colleagues included, develop using only a text editor and a shell. There's no shame in that. (PS: plus makefiles, of course, maintained in that same editor and run in that editor or in the shell.)

I’ll power up VSCodium from time to time to quickly flip through reams of pages of code, though I’m always annoyed at the faux vi features and end up doing real work in the terminal.

I’m not sure I would be as comfortable without screen.
