This is why I don't use IDEs
I type some stuff, realize that JSON wants the thing to be a string, so I add a " to the end of the line. The IDE adds two "s instead of one.
I notice after I go back to the beginning of the line, and have added a " at the beginning of the string.
Fine.
I go to the end of the line, and I remove a "
I run the thing
Turns out the IDE removed both "s
Because fuck you

•I do use IDEs, and they're often very helpful, but sometimes they're trying to be a bit too smart for their own good, and failing badly at it.

I'm currently considering using edbrowse but too busy to onboard a new simple tool
