I use xcode as a notebook and then command line tools for everything else. I hate all of these modern bloatware "IDEs". Visual Studio is gay too not just because its only on Windows but it just is. I use docker and cloud containers for some stuff too. But never IDEs.

maybe paradise is successfully returning to bare-metal assembly code or even straight-up mechanical implementations with no code at all.

no thats too far. I need modern tools, but I want the minimal implementation. so xcode (just as a coding notebook for editing files and protoyping, but not any of its IDE features) and then terminal for git, custom build scripts cmake or whatever, package management, compile/lint/type style checking etc. fits the bill

I would just use terminal 100% but nano sucks for editing code. i know some people use vim or some of the other terminal based editors but those are gay too

well I use xcode to actually write and edit files, but only because nano and vim suck or I would use them. everything else i use terminal for.

I use WSL with VS Code. Everything else is whatever I don’t care. Btw I fucking hate Homebrew + Mac OS Terminal.

mac os terminal is fine i can do everything on it that I can do in linux. i dont really use homebrew because its gay and causes library conflicts. I just clone things, handle cmake, dependencies etc myself unless I absolutely can't get around it
