Are the VIm mode issues he mentioned improved? I keep moving back to VIm because while all of these tools make excellent IDEs none of them are great editors. The other thing that drive me a bit nuts is the multiple versions. Webstorm vs Rubymine. I build on Rails, but do most of my UI work with Angular+JS+Webpack. So which should I use Rubymine or Webstorm? It's all too confusing.

I really don't know what issues the author is referring to. I have used IdeaVim for PyCharm and was very satisfied with it. It has its own vimrc file which allows you to not only copy paste your existing bindings, but also keeps them separate form your default bindings in a clean way. If you compare this level of support for Vim with MonoDevelop, you'd realize just how good it actually is.

  MonoDevelop's Vim mode just kills me - probably the worst Vim mode I've used in any editor.

  I have the same issues w/ the vim plugin as the author(especially re: the weird "middle" state)

    Are you using the mouse when this is happening?

IntelliJ seems to be their 'master' IDE with plugins providing the functionality of PyCharm, Webstorm etc. It's reflected in the license cost, but I'm using it on a mixed Python, JS, PHP without too many issues except SDK-switching for each context.

As far as VIM goes I'm on the same boat. If Webstorms VIM plugin had the ability to move from panes and specially into the file tree explorer (use the hjkl), that would probably make me want to use it.

  Not sure on Webstorm, but IntelliJ (which has the webstorm plugin) lets you flip between panes using standard Vim keybindings.

    right, I was able to do that, but not between panes and file explorer.

    Holy cow, I'm so dumb. I have "ctrl-(hjkl)" mapped using https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator so I have an extremely easy time navigating between splits in terminal vim. I tried like hell to get "ctrl-(hjkl)" to work in IntelliJ. I eventually gave up and decided to just start clicking the panes like a caveman. It never even crossed my mind to try the original bindings. Thank you.
