Is that a lowest-common-denominator IDE or programmer's editor?

I've used Visual Studio a fair amount, Eclipse a little, and NetBeans a little.
Oh, Qt Creator to lay out dialogs and, in Windows, to do some debugging.
Still, most of my work is done using a terminal, vim/gvim, automake or meson,
and cgdb (gdb wrapper).

I don't need no funking Intellisense. :-)
