3 You know the drill. If you’re on Vim you’re also on bash. Or zsh. Or fish. Or whatever. Vim The most awesome text editor ever made by human beings (Emacs is good too). iTerm iTerm2 brings the terminal into the modern age with features you never knew you always wanted Bash OSX Long story short, until not too long ago doing Python on Windows was a (major) pain in the ass. Python Hacking by night

4 Visual Studio Most awesome IDE ever made by human beings. No kidding. VsVim Perfect Vim emulator for Visual Studio. Windows I write desktop apps so Visual Studio Mac and VS Code are not an option (yet?) .NET Framework Most awesome framework ever made by human beings. No kidding. C# Coding by day
