That last point has long been a red flag when interviewing. A developer who doesn't care about their tooling also tends to not care about the quality of their work.


I'd rather work with developers who are flexible and open minded about the conditions they can work in than those who get notoriously pissy if things aren't set up exactly the way they like it. Especially when that way is ridiculously elaborate and non-standard.


Its also a red flag for me when a company mandates an IDE.
