I like Vim's editing model. Vim itself is a truly awesome piece of software. BUT - it doesn't have IDE style features, which I have come to rely on to do my job effectively, built in. Luckily for me, Vim's editing model exists in the IDEs I use via Vim 'emulation' plugins. In Jetbrains IDEs and in VSCode, the emulation is quite good. In the incredibly rare instance where I need a macro or some similar 'power user' Vim feature, I just pop that file open in Vim. For me this approach strikes the best balance. I get to use the powerful modal editing that I've come to enjoy, while also getting to take advantage of the many powerful features of IDEs.
