One of the reason I like Elm is that it has great potential for great IDEs. If you use Vim with lot of plugins then it is already sort of a minimal IDE right? Most IDE you hate perhaps have a lot of UX design problems. Good IDEs should aim for a better overall coding experience, by this definition. For example in Elm, all the nice error messages can appear next to the line, and all the case-of statements can be auto-completed according to the type definition, it all adds to an overall better coding experience.
