the ide is not more complicated than your customized Vim setup once you get it close to functionality (you won't). I use all keybindings anyway, so it's not like the UI adds anything bad? I switched from lightweight editors to IDEs many years ago and my productivity went up A BUNCH - even if sometimes it uses gigabytes of ram. so what? Even my old used machines have 8-16gb of memory now. I would honestly much rather hire people that work in IDEs than people that like to "hack" on their vi/vim/emacs setup. The number of times I've been in a screen share with someone while they're trying to code or debug something with Vim etc, it just feels so slow to watch them work that I get that embarrassed-for-them feeling.
