(Graphical) IDE's are great for development, but they're slow to start and heavy to run. Sometimes you just want to take a quick look at an xml or dockerfile and you don't want to spin up the whole IDE for that.

I've recently rediscovered notepad++ for that (on windows), what's your prefered easy-acces-tekst-editor?

vim. Just basic vim, I don't jazz it up to be all IDE-like. I want my vim to behave exactly like it would if I'm on some random other computer.

If I need autocomplete, ability to jump to the definition of stuff and so forth I use whatever the other people on the project use, which is often vscode these days.

exactly this. If I need to do development, i'll use a jetbrains product. If i'm in a pure text editing situation, I want the most powerful thing for manipulating text, and I want it to be available.

You don't enjoy a plugin like gutentags? You're missing out. Don't let your principles get in the way of your productivity.
