I fell for the "text editor only" meme 8 years ago. I'm actively a vim user that uses tons of plugins just to be able to do simple things that IDEs do by default. I would not recommend it to anyone. I work primarily with embedded systems (ST and NXP MCUs). Not working with the respective IDEs that have been specifically designed for this type of work and using a text editor instead (of any type) would be objectively a bad choice. There is just so much value in being able to visually configure pins, peripherals, clocks, etc. that just the text editor makes no sense. Also the debugging experience is probably order of magnitude better. What you can do and what does make sense is vim emulation inside of the IDE. It is not perfect, but it is what it is. There is A LOT of ideology in the software world. DO NOT FALL for it. Take things at face value. Be a pragmatic, not an ideologue.
