I did the exact same thing. That's the same reason I do most dev work in vim as opposed to an IDE too--input lag jerks me out of flow state faster than anything else. Plus, vim emulation modes like evil and vscode vim don't duplicate all vim behavior, and if you've been using vim a while it doesn't take long at all to find the rough edges. Sure, vim isn't perfect, Lord knows vimscript is a dumpster fire, but for me at least, it is the best tool for the job 95% of the time.
