Listen, long story short: just say no to nonsense like this.
Given the choice of a) tooling, or b) no tooling, you’re not being smart, cool or clever by choosing b.
Obviously, what tools you pick are important and heavy IDEs like IntelliJ are a trade off between speed and functionality, and yeah, more nimble tools do exist, and it’s definitely worth trying different development tools to see what makes you most productive.
…but “no IDE” is just rejecting everything because you didn’t like one thing; it’s just being lazy.
