I use Linux practically exclusively, and use my terminal.

It's apparently black magic, according to team members. But it's extremely productive to be able to develop in a terminal. Not only is it extremely productive, but it's also extremely extensible -- you can export your workflow in a script and use that same workflow in CI/CD. Running the same thing in the cloud and on your local workstation is... beyond productive.

tl;dr: learn how to use vim (or emacs, you heathen!) and you will get waaaaay better at writing software. You'll start to miss having pipes when you're forced to use GUI apps.
