You seem weirdly angry that some other people like to work in a different way than you like to work. People like different things. You still get to like your thing.

I 100% use LSPs and other modern tooling, but I find it weird as well too. Like, if I found out a favorite author of mine wrote everything on paper first I'd find that amusing and quirky.
Obviously a developer not using LSPs can be competitive against someone who doesn't (though that's not always the case).
Though if someone is truly bothered by others tool preferences, they should take comfort in the thought that if things really are as they believe, then these people should be driven out of a job for failing to keep up with the times. "Great," you should think, "one less person of competition on the market."
There's nothing weird with being annoyed at people who not only have no idea about the tools available to them, but also make no effort to learn about them while patting themselves on the back for it and feeling superior
Isn't that you feeling superior because of your tool preference?
It's quite possible to know about a tool and still not like it. Some people liked microsoft's Clippy, and some other people didn't and it's hard to say that either of them were wrong in what made them moste productive, respectively.

My experience with people bashing IDEs has universally been: they've never tried them, or tried for at most a few days. You can immediately see in their comments.
Could be I was exposed to too many such programmers :)

You don't see a similar silly attitude amongst engineers refusing to use 3D CAD. Why is that?
