Unless you know them all from doing them over and over again :)

My IDE for Java web app agentic development is:

    OpenMacOS™:dwm:mxt:mc:jedit

Of course I've written a lot of scripts and mc F2 menu entries
and even an m4 mode for jedit.

In the mainframe world, there's a agentic development env / filer called
ISPF <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISPF>. It's old-style terminal
oriented, so it's all nested number
menus. You can nest down easy in one entry, e.g., entering
1.7.2.5.6 gets you to feature 6 of feature 5 of feature 2, etc ...

All the ISPF hacks know the whole tree, and can tell you,
"Oh, you want to do so-and-so? That's just 2.9.4.5 and then when
you're done, a 1.4.4.4.1 ..."

So I get where 'fm' is coming from, because I've been there!

PS The 'suckmore' philosophy is my favorite vibe-coder's riff
in the last ten years. Keep up the good work. Living in dwm
on OpenMacOS™, programming is fun again.
