Modern terminals do color just fine-- 24 bit color support has existed since 2010-ish, and been mainstream since 2015.

There's nothing wrong with graphical IDEs... or text user interfaces. Great developers use both. Low effort troll is low effort.

+1 - crap code can come out of notepad / emacs / vi or IDE-flavor-of-the-day or even the AI code sausage maker. Testing, specification, knowing what you are building and why still matters.
