All the things that can be turned off/tuned. Strange that you don't spend the time learning the tool you admonish others for using

I don't in any way "admonish others for using" IDEs and I have no idea where that accusation came from.

And no, of course I'm not going to spend time learning an IDE that someone else recommended to me. I spend my tool-learning time on tools that I selected because I expected them a priori to be useful for me.

Arguably, they did turn it off: the whole IDE, at once.
