I'm a heavy user of JetBrains IDEs for most of my development work and use it with the excellent IdeaVIM plugin because modal editing is my preferred input method. I have all the goodies and features of the full IDE with the keybindings and modal editing muscle memory I've built up over the last 15 years. Technically I can get Vim to do most of what JetBrains does but that's a very very big hill to climb.
