“Keeping a developer in that flow state where they're writing code most of the time is the most important job of any tool. Whatever tool gets a developer to that point in time where they're just writing code, writing code, writing code, and not worrying about switching context at all, I think that's the best tool you could use.” – Dalia Abo Sheasha
