>> would be an issue for my other team members[...] I'm use to its workflow but onboarding game devs hate it. I have to hear everyday lets move to[...] I personally like coffee-script but I swallowed the medicine on this one[...] I think of code completion and seeing errors right away as crutches[...] make it much easier for juniors and lower the bar

That's an awful lot of "I am very smart" for one comment. You shouldn't need to repeatedly insult your fellow team members to express your thoughts on such matters.

Preferring vim over an IDE isn't enough to convict, but when someone starts associating the use of an IDE with "juniors", the verdict is guilty. Your choice of tools should be about getting the job done efficiently - using vim isn't a skill that demonstrates seniority or superiority.

>> I really wanted to contribute[...] put great effort to join but Richard was useless in responding[...] I asked month over month[...] I would have contributed significantly[...]

Classic "nice guy". You might have taken the hint after the first few weeks - or months - that he wasn't interested. I'm sure that, upon reading your comment, he would be relieved to know he didn't invest his time onboarding someone who would have sucked the life out of the project.
