Not OP, but I guess his point is that all those things are either accessible from the command line (linting) or available as plugins from vim. As an additional point: I've been working on a "polyglot" project for some years now, most of it is in Python (data-analysis) and C# (Unity), but there is also C/C++ (real-time components) and even some Haskell (some small "scripts") in there. I do all my programming in vim with basically just syntax highlighting, relying on the web for "definition look up" and typing fast instead of "auto complete". Code lookup (i.e. "where did that function go") is handled by RipGrep, continuous builds are handled from the command-line (with fsnotify), etc. => Definitely just "my 2 cents", but I've been using Vim for so long that every IDE text editing feels very sluggish in comparison.
