Cause some of us want to write code instead of screw around endlessly configuring a text editor?

You still need to tinker all the time - that's part of our jobs. You need to configure and use various tools, for note-taking, Zettelcasten, GTD, TODOs, Pomodoro, Habits, Anki-Cards, etc. You need to tinker with your terminal, write various scripts, in awk, bash, perl, python, etc. You need to manage your Postman collections, nix files, dotfiles, PDF annotations, gpg and ssh keys, shell history, browser history, browser settings, git settings, package management, jupyter notebooks, etc.

Now, Imagine if you could really learn just a single tool that could help you manage all that—one integrated environment where you can take notes, organize tasks, manage your schedule, write code and annotations, write scientific papers, automate workflows, handle version control and secure communications. Some versatile, extensible, and powerful editor that can be customized to fit all your needs, where you turn endless tinkering into a streamlined, cohesive experience, making productivity feel natural and effortless. Where if you embraced it, you'd discover how it can transform your workflow into a harmonious symphony of efficiency.

That tool does exists, but of course, why would you screw around it endlessly? After all, you have to write code instead...

Couldn't resist, since it is relevant and analogous:
