I'd like to assume you're joking but 20 years of vim doesn't get me anywhere close to the productivity of JetBrains or even VS code on their first years.
Vim first of all has its default set so that only very patient people can live with it. So you need to edit the defaults so much to make it slightly more comfortable, and you need to pick plugins that only some work as expected, mostly not updated in years and they add yet more crazy shortcuts no one can remember and still don't work like modern editors do.
I only use vim to edit config files on servers but VS code can do that these days, vim is losing a position for me as of late. Glad it invented modal typing but it's as ancient as one would guess.

- mekster 6y agoI think vim is like a rock, so it takes quite an effort to even scratch it then. But even if you use a drill, can vim even become as useful as IntelliJ or VS code? I doubt that.
