I am sure the author is a power user of his tools. I tried to use Vim for more than a simple text editor for few days. I realised that it would very hard to replicate the productivity of a special purpose IDE(IntelliJ in my case) using Vim. tmux is great but if you are used to multiple windows or tabs that is fine as well.

After years of using Vim I gave up on the idea of using it as an IDE. It's really powerful for editing (navigation, searching, etc) but I am too dumb to do any debugging with it (xdebug, gdb, etc.). Too many panes, not enough memory slots for shortcuts. So I tend to use IDE with good support for Vim key bindings. So VSCode these days and waiting for a good neo vim based IDE.
