To be fair I only resort to IDE's when I have to jump into a new and unfamiliar project. Once I know it well enough, I switch over to vim. Recently I got told that I might have a Stockholm syndrome. Jokes aside and all, the truth is once you learn the basic 20-30 commands, nothing will be able to match your speed.
