The value is purely speculative no matter which source.

It’s only worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it.

The company is now private and has no stock price. It’s not for sale.

It mostly has the same user base today so the value to an interested buyer is probably not much different to what it was before the sale.

Twitter had no choice. It was either that or shut down the company within a few weeks. Bankruptcy.

Jack Dorsey apologized for over hiring and accepted responsibility. Before the sale to Elon Musk, he had doubled the number of employees since 2017.

Employees were posting on TikTok about their typical work day. Most of them were doing nothing. Dead weight.

Yes it depends on what exactly you are doing.

IntelliJ enables quick refactoring of large JVM projects without messing with language servers. It's all integrated and just works out of the box.

IDEAVim plugin provides the Vim keybindings and the Vim editing mode so it's the best of both worlds for me.

OP thinks IDEs are toys. I think Vim is a toy (beyond its functionality as an editor where it is definitely not a toy).

I've been using IntelliJ for at least 10 years now.

If you have used it, you know what I'm talking about.

IDEAVim plugin provides Vim key bindings and Vim editing mode, so it has the best of Vim and an IDE in one application.

Refactoring and navigation in IntelliJ is superior to whatever you can hack together in Vim. You can integrate Vim with a language server but then what's the point? Just use an IDE.

At work we are forced to use a specific IDE. It's a niche programming language not supported by any other software. Vim is not an option.

Some of us have jobs and do this professionally, not as a hobby. That’s why we use an IDE. Vim is a fun toy where you can hack together a poor man’s IDE but I grew out of that phase a long time ago.

In some cases we are forced to use a specific IDE. Not optional.

Yes, Steve Jobs did not sound like a caricature of that voice.

That's how it is in the real world. I think you are the homophobic one here.

Some gay men sound like that, but not all.

The current CEO of Apple is gay but doesn't have that voice. He speaks clearly. Easy to listen to.
