I'm in a similar boat. I've used vscode, pycharm/idea, visual studio and vim etc. I'm currently giving neovim + i3wm a try, and there are certain things I love. Specifically instant switching between my browser and my ide, the ide and terminal. However, the speed of the LSP(tips, method definitions when coding) is greatly exaggerated. For example for python there is the exact same 10gb ram using behemoth running in the background. Is it faster than using the same language server in vscode or idea? Yes, a bit, but definitely not 10x faster. Also, I have 2 complaints. One is about keys. There is a huge emphasis in vim world to set your own keys for everything... The problem with that is that for some rarely used action one forgets... Or one moves to a different machine. I think plugin like lsp-zero should more prominently document their _default_ keystrokes. I prefer to learn these before I start setting my own for everything. Second thing is what makes an ide most useful. A tree view file manager. I'm currently using nvim-tree. It's a nice plugin, and it works, but it lacks certain features like displaying large trees of empty folders in a "collapsed" way like vscode does. So, for now I'm sticking with nvim, but I can't say for how long..

You might be interested in installing the fzf-vim plugin [0]. It has a user-defined command :Maps which can be used to search through all keybindings (you can also do this with just :nmap in vim, but the fzf interface is much nicer). It also provides :Commands. This behaves remarkably like VSCode's command palette. [0] https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim
