I try new stuff regularly. People can build cool stuff. Google is releasing a new IDE soon. I'll try it. Cursor.so is a cool idea. I tried it. Zed sounds great (I love high performance) so I tried it. Haven't switched yet though!

But I was 100% vim for years and over time, slowly started using intellij and friends. I hated how slow it felt. But as I learned the features, it became a no-brainer.

If I didn't try new stuff I wouldn't have used it.

I did the same thing with terminals for a while, and settled on Kitty. (I'd never use fig / warp). Speaking of which, IntelliJ 2024 EAP terminal is horrific. I had to downgrade.
