Something like Vivaldi but using FF as a base would be _wonderful_.

My current client wants all of us to standardize on VS Code at some point, and this is by far the most annoying thing for me. I hate that if I leave the editor, it goes back to a mouse-driven design. I'm glad to hear you can change the behavior, so I guess I'll just have to do that at some point to make it work for my needs.

Going to echo this sentiment. The project I'm on now is the first time I've worked with a PM that gets whats going on and actually manages the product instead of just sending PMs after hours asking for some "small" feature to be squeezed into the sprint. It makes a HUGE difference, and I can honestly say I'm much less stressed out now than in previous projects.

The real solution is to just give people the choice. Everyone's workflow is different enough that there can't really be a "one-size-fits-all" program. I'd be ecstatic if we moved away from being forced to use certain software because so-and-so needs a proprietary file format that only this piece of software supports.

I think, in general, this is a good counterpoint. But the things mentioned really do suck. Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact you can just use Google or Facebook to log into everything more people would complain.
The obsession with modern software has with mining every single bit of data they can is a huge step in the wrong direction. The silly "features"--like the 'what you do' or 'what your friends' do reports--are more annoying than interesting.
I don't mind, or might even enjoy, that kind of thing when I sign up for it, but it really doesn't need to be in every piece of software I use.
