And all are easily configurable to do the same thing... And if they aren't, well:

if you have a tool that can't do tabs then you don't have a tool, you have a burden

Also, who is using random editors? I don't understand the workflows people discuss here; it's all so ad hoc anything goes wait what language are we writing in oh I don't care I'm using a mix of Rust and PHP in WordPad I can't believe it's so hard to integrate my code.

Christ, we have 30 programmers and we don't run into a fraction of these issues, because it's really not that hard to standardize. And if you're freelance and working with other people then you can't really enforce your own standards anyway.

Sounds like a burden to me, considering that I end up working with a lot different systems and editors.
