Just for reference, because programming is not one big tent, as far as I know most people working professionally developing for the Linux kernel, gcc and glic uses only a text editor and "Unix as your IDE". I never tried myself but I have a feeling that any IDE with git integration would just immediately cry trying to interact with the kernel or gcc git repo. Even gits own PS1 status feature slows to crawl in this repos.

The largest repos in the world are monorepos (the major tech companies). IDEs can handle those codebases just fine (might be modified).
