I am not sure what you mean by “hardcore”, but it is surprising to see the term used in the same paragraph as Windows. 😉

Julia works with many IDEs, which is great because you get to choose. Many people write multiple languages (eg I write in natural languages like English and Hungarian, markup languages such as Markdown, Org-mode, HTML, CSS, programming languages like Bash, C, Stan, Lisp, and last but not least, Julia). Having a single IDE for each with inconsistent interfaces would be a huge inconvenience for me.

That said, on Windows many people like VS Code and AFAIK it is well supported. Your writeup is appreciated, but it may be better to simply _ask for help first_, then you can get started with the language.
