I recommend using an IDE with a good vim plugin. I predominately code this way and I feel like I get all the benefits of both vim and the gui. I can use the intuitive UI of the IDE to navigate through the project (using IntelliJ, find usage and shift-shift search are clutch) and handle builds/test/refactoring partly visually, and then I can edit individual files very efficiently with vim. also it's really nice being able to click around in vim if you think it will be faster than navigating to the desired point using the keyboard, really reduces the cognitive overhead
