Well, I am coding all day long in that thing and it is stable.

I do not feel stuck but have a few tricks: https://github.com/Pharophile/ExternalTools

(and for the save thing: https://github.com/Pharophile/HOImageSaver)

I like being able to add new features to my own dev environment the way I want. Like with https://github.com/Pharophile/TilingWindowManager

Try that with other tooling. A plugin or two, yeah, but hacking your own development environment from the inside out? That's really awesome I say.
