  • It’s because a lot of the way humans go about their life is based on traditions. Getting everybody to switch from a system that already works pretty well is just a hassle.

    Examples:

    • English spelling is faaar from phonetic and children take longer to learn how to spell than in Spanish for example. (though, cough, enough, plough instead of something like thouğ, koff, enaf and the US plow)
    • Metric system adopted globally would streamline a lot of global industries that have no cater to each system.
    • Driving right side everywhere. Sweden switched but asking India to switch makes way less sense.
    • Date formats. Arguably the best if everyone uses ISO 8601 but nobody does.

  • I use Jetbrains IDEs now for 5 years, I’ve used VSCode, Sublime, Atom, Vim, Neovim but I feel like Jetbrains IDEs are just better if you have the RAM to run it.

    1. It’s a setting.
    2. Doesn’t happen
    3. Doesn’t happen
    4. Searchable actions, just search for “encoding” in this case.
    5. That’s an LSP/project mismatch usually just a setting. Most things are supported but worst case you can remove the error.
    6. Happens if you run out of RAM or open a very large file.

    So it’s not all bad, but comes with a lot of good such as “invert if statement”, “use template strings” and “extract method” thingies along with a load of plugins.
