      A keyboard being split really makes 95% of the ergonomics difference, alongside a split space bar, and it really makes keys easier to reach as well. Ortho really shines on a split keyboard, and on a regular keyboard it can actually make it more difficult to type for some people. For example, Colemak-DH D and H are very easy to hit, but they become slightly more difficult on an ortho (without split) unless you bend your wrists laterally even more than a row-staggered keyboard.
      Here's my suggestion: swap J with Q, that should make J easier to hit in Vim without sacrificing the typing

    4:48 hi, professional software developer of 15 years who always has his file tree open here 👋
    The ridiculous number of times I’m working with complex file trees that require constant juggling of open vs not open vs diff/compared vs narrower find in files scope, etc etc etc is numerous and daily. I find my anxiety rises when I have it collapsed because then I’m trusting often imperfect intellisense like operations and my own a shitty memory to resolve file paths or deep reference some class member.
    My ability to navigate the file tree is often faster than the Find Anywhere/Everywhere type operations of waiting for things like VSCode to have its autocomplete try and “resolve“

      @@dsvechnikov The biggest projects I navigate around is only around 5k files, but I would throw the question in reverse, how would you effectively navigate with a file tree. With emacs I have find-file in project, find buffer in project (open file for simplicity), global find file (starting in the directory of the currently open file), global find buffer, I can pull up a file explorer if I really need to (dired), but that is rarely the case. There is also various grep commands. All of these I can navigate with fuzzy search + previews (from the Vertico+Marginalia extensions). I also know (Neo)Vim has all of this through some fuzzy finding plugins.
      I couldn't imagine using something other than fuzzy finding + something like the excelent buffer and project management of emacs for traversing such projects. You almost don't even have to think of where you are, you just end up where you need to be.

When you're a freelancer for example to get into a codebase maybe once in 3 to 6 months and then the file tree becomes very handy.

      I have a 34" left screen and 27" right one. I keep docs, tools, types, and reference code on the left. I keep code I'm actively building/changing on the right of that. This makes it pretty much center on that window and fairly center between both screens.
      What you can also do is just not have a fullscreen window. It's okay :P

    that IBM keyboard was basically the first one that our current "standard" format came from, and to make things even better, it has mechanical switches. granted they're super super loud buckling spring switches if I remember correctly, but still, in the days of these modern mechanical keyboard nerds, this was the world tree

      First PC-- though not the first computer-- I owned (or rather, that my parents bought) was an IBM PS/2 486SX 25MHz with 4 MB of RAM (later upgraded to 8 MB). So many memories of that PC: every computer I have had after that has been vastly superior to that in every way except one-- the IBM model M keyboard. It didn't need the windows key, you could just ctrl+escape to get the start menu to pop up when windows 95 came out. People who have customized mechanical keyboards now think they understand, but they don't.

    First editor was a set of toggle switches. Then line based editor at 300 baud. ( a screen of text could take minutes to display ) qed/vi style allowed fast motion through the file in line mode. Once you could use screens that worked, then anything that is fast display. Turn off syntax checking on older machines since it slowed stuff down! So the answer is any editor that works on the system you use!

    Jetbrains users are enthusiasts who are really just pre-Neovim users in denial. I can count on one hand the number of devs that I’ve worked with who are using something other than VSCode or Visual Studio. Jetbrains products definitely are NOT the average developer’s editor. Most devs in my experience just use whatever is approved and/or paid for by the company.

      @rawirosudiro7301That's true; I forgot about Android Studio.

I don't work in Java shops that much, although the devs that I did work on a Java project just used VSCode with plugins rather than a bespoke editor like Intellij/Eclipse/NetBeans/etc..

Three, you can beat your interrupting coworkers over the head with it and go right back to typing.

    the funniest part is i only use netrw, harpoon, and telescope godforbid i need to actually look for something. the tree is just there because it feels weird if it wasnt there. the tree has been there since i started on my vim journey, i brought it with me when i switched to neovim, and ill probably always have it. just a reminder of where i started and how far ive come

    as someone who's done C# for almost as many years as it's existed, and who's done work in other languages, it is as good as we say it is. it's now far better than Java ever was or currently is, not only from a language design standpoint, but the runtime on which it runs, and the ability to publish to native making it nearly as fast or performant as a lot of C code. I've stepped outside of the beautiful walled garden and seen the squalor most of you live in and I'm disgusted. I wouldn't do everything with C#, but anything north of the kernel is far better served by it.

    Those IBM keyboards were the rolls royce of keyboards, dude. Great ergonomics, heavenly tactile experience, and build quality far above anything you can find today. There's a reason why you can still find original IBM keyboards in great condition several decades later (and people still go looking for them). They're pretty much on the same level as a Nokia 3310. On the other hand, you won't find a heavly used Logitech G-whatever in any decent condition in 10 years time.

    Allow me a moment to overdramatize. I am someone who has the file explorer open most of the time when I am coding. I am a proponent of "If your code isn't understandable with only local information, then it isn't understandable", and the file structure and by extension the module structure is usually the only major connection to the big picture I feel like I need most times. If I have a question about how some function or class ties into the big picture of the project (in a well organized project) I can usually answer that question with a 3 second glance at the file explorer.
    Even in badly organized projects, the file explorer contains a lot of information about programmer intent that would take months of learning otherwise. It's a small piece, but when you're working on code that you don't know like the back of your hand that piece of information is important.
    I spent most of my time as a junior developer with my head underwater in code bases that were too big with no introduction from a fellow human whatsoever. So I learned to speak the language that was presented to me. The source code, and even the organization of the source code is the programmer communicating with the build system, but in doing so they are also communicating a lot of information that they may or may not have realized.
    But whatever. In scenarios where you have a large amount of other information sources, the file explorer isn't that useful. But in my experience when you get thrown into shark infested waters, it just might be the difference between being eaten alive and surviving comfortably. I am very at home in extremely low information coding environments (which are very common in "enterprise"), and I think a big part of that is making use of every source of information that I have available to the fullest. Pick a random bug report on a random project on the internet somewhere. I am pretty confident that I could solve it almost as fast as someone who has been working on the project actively for a couple of years. I don't think many people would be able to make that claim and be right about it.
