Definitely agree. I've been trying to go full-Vim a few times over the years, and it's not been very successful. I'm a huge fan of Vim keybindings though, and wouldn't use an editor/IDE without support for it.

I would say that going 100% Vim is reasonable if you have a very stable development stack/environment. You spend a few weeks (or months, which is more realistic IMO) setting things the way you like and then use the setup for years.

If you work in several different languages, connect to several different databases, and also like to play with other tech stuff, VS code (and/or JetBrains products) with Vim bindings is usually more ergonomic. Both VS code and JB have very nice Vim plugins, so you get like 80% of Vim power + a lot of polish and modern tooling from VS code/JB.
