  1. I think this is mostly a problem of point of reference. For example I use Helix. Before that I used Neovim, before that I used Vim, and before that I used a mix of VScode and Eclipse (don't judge me). The problem is that you don't know what you don't know. So when my friends or coworkers see me teleporting in the terminal left and right, editing this and that, they are amazed, because early on I took the time and invested in learning the tools. The truth is that if you use VScode, and you don't use the terminal or you don't use a lot of utilities and workflows within the terminal, you simply don't know how slow you are, and how slow each of the tools you are using are. So to come back to the point of reference thing, the reason you can't convince someone that using something like the terminal or Neovim or Helix will speed things up, is that they have no ideas that what they are doing is slow, they never experienced the frustration of slowness simply because their point of reference is already the slowest. Like when I was using VScode, and I was hearing people's claim that alternatives were faster, I just didn't get it, what I was using seemed fast, and I never felt limited by it, but when I tried it myself, and came back to VScode that when I realized. "Oh ok the UI don't update in real time in VScode and now I can actually notice it", "Oh the syntax highlighting is very slow in VScode now I can see that", "Oh files take 100x more time to open and now I can actually notice it". Point being you don't know that you are slow or that what you are using is slow, until you experience first hand something that is fast. So if you don't have the time or if you simply don't care, than that's fine you don't have to change, but at the same time, you can't say that VScode or any other IDE is "Fast" if you have never tried Vim/Nvim/Helix, that opinion of yours is simply irrelevant due to the fact that you never experienced something being fast so you can't be the judge of that.
