I have used all of those editors and a dozen more over the years, but Vim is just the best by a large margin (IMO). The neovim plugin ecosystem includes everything I could possibly want from those IDEs, for every language, and most importantly, only the things I want. Even if we dismiss vim's editing capabilities and its native integration with the wider linux ecosystem (tmux, zsh, ssh, etc), the best part about vim is that it's a blank slate that you can build into an IDE that's highly tuned to the work you do and the way you think, rather than trying to shoehorn every new IntelliJ feature into your workflow just because it exists in an IDE dropdown menu.
I don't begrudge anyone that says "wow, I don't want to take the time to research every damn feature of my IDE, just let me work", that's totally reasonable, and any of those IDEs will let you get the job done - for me - the time invested is worth it because of how much of my life is spent editing files on my computer.
