Dudes be comparing text editor to IDE, and then writing :wq thinking they're vim evangelists.

In the end, they are both tools developers use to write codes. I don't see why they can't be compared to each other.

vim is just a set of well-thought key bindings and commands. JetBrains built highly successful business on providing "working from the box" IDEs. Not to mention vim's buffer concepts, entirely different from usual tabs.

Article literally goes "I tried to build ultimate IDE from vim, sometimes it's good, sometimes not, but then I discovered this not that free tool called IDEA and damn it works".
