>GUIs are more productive

From my first hand experience this generalization is wrong as it comes down to each individual developer.

We have highly skilled developers using vim and editing code very fast as well as other skilled developers using VS Code of Eclipse as plain text editors. Less skilled developers usually think that text editors like vim improve their quality/speed because the very skilled developers use them whereas they‘re usually lacking knowledge for concepts and the language. This leads to a double slowdown from less skilled developers struggling now with their editor and the work they‘re supposed to do.

It usually comes down to what each individual developer is comfortable with compared to what they think they should be using regardless if text or GUI based.
