I don't see how using vim is in any way bad for business, what a terrible example. And I don't even use it myself.

Your argument also hinges on "business" knowing what is good for productivity, which they generally don't. Admittedly, neither do many programmers, else we'd have a lot less k8s.



Indeed, I detest vim but I think mentioning it detracted from the argument by showing why developers tend to not trust it when others try to dictate what is "good for the business" based on their own views rather than objective metrics.
