Sure, as long as it's not on my dime! :-)
vim et al are great and I know skilled users can get very productive in them, but I would not push it as a default environment for incoming developers. The amount of force-multiplying functionality in the stock install of IntelliJ or VSCode is very good.

I would not push any default environment on incoming developers unless there is a very good reason to do so (eg. custom graphical lowcode tool that only works with a specialized editor). As I said, one of the beautiful things about programming is that the craftman gets to chose the tools.
