"graphical user interfaces make easy tasks easy, while command line interfaces make difficult tasks possible"

William E. Shotts Jr., The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction

It has taken me a long time to get comfortable using a Linux CLI (definitely not as familiar with windows cmd prompt/powershell), and I know that if I log into a box anywhere, If it has sh or bash or some variant of those shells, I'll be able to get by.

Now, on my home server, moving & renaming a bunch of media files has me really wishing I had a DE installed there to Ctrl + click/Drag-n-drop...

Also, I love using VScodium/Code as an IDE bc of its configurability & rich plugin ecosystem -- but recently I had some performance hiccups with extensions not playing nice together and started (again) down the masochistic path of configuring neovim to use as an "IDE"...

Skip the masochism, try helix. Switched to that + zellij with about 20 lines of config and never looked back

Helix + zellij huh? I'll definitely try it out

Feel free to ping me if I can help, at least in the form of starter configs/small hacks that emulate VS Code workflows or something :)

Personally I was the guy that had thousands of lines of Vim and Emacs configurations, so I really had to do this to manage the time sink (like you I had a stint with VS Code in between that eventually stopped working for me)
