> In my experience, the vast majority of developers working with scripting languages such as JavaScript, Python or Rust, still use plain text editors such as Vim or Sublime Text.

Definitely not in my experience, most people I know use VSCode, which I wouldn't call a plain text editor (not necessarily an IDE either though). Most people will use the plugins for each language since those are auto-recommended when you open a new file in that language, such as Pylance for Python, and most people will click "install recommended plugins" and call it a day.

Vim users are few and far between in my experience, and Sublime Text even more so, most everyone has migrated to VSCode at this point that I know of.

I tend towards simple GUI text editors (Sublime and gedit), but I'm not really a developer. That said, I do use VSCode for anything that has to touch a git repository because screw trying to manage that on the command line. I wonder if that's what tends to push people towards an IDE if they weren't already using one.

I use VSCode, but still use the command line for managing git. Old habits die hard, I guess.

Me too! Although I am playing with Sublime merge lately - it is pretty handy for creating branches off of specific commits, looking at diffs across branches etc.
