VIM + plugins
I have to admit that while I'm old enough to remember VIM from days of yore, I never found the love that everyone had/has for it. Is it really as good as modern IDE's?
Yes. Though neovim has stolen the limelight really. YCM or ALE with vim, ctrl+p plugins, nerdtree, lightline and you basically have an IDE
If you're going the vim route I'd go with NeoVim. The lua support for plugins has resulted in some really great IDE-like plugins. That being said, I still prefer VScode with vim mode.
There's actually a cool plugin for VSCode that lets you bridge NeoVim into it if you want the best of both worlds
its always an option.
VIM is more than an option. It transcends languages, frameworks, paradigms. Vim will always be there for you
hail VIM!
Ooorr… vscode with vim extensions/keyboard mappings. :)
I tried: things like string subs didn't work, no visual block mode, macros non-existant
Real Vim for me!
