Speaking as someone who does their development in Vim (with YouCompleteMe / NerdTree / CTags installed), that’s pretty much exactly what it looks like when I’m coding to this day. OP recognises elegance when they see it.
A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
I barely even qualify as a dabbling coder, I write terrible Python code and even worse bash scripts, which I think barely counts as dabbling? But anyway, I do it in Kate because it highlights my syntax but otherwise just lets me work.
