I know right? I don't get all the hype, honestly. I've been using JetBrains products too, and they blow everything else out of the water. Even VSCode is good (though nowhere near as good as JetBrains, atleast in terms of Intellisense).

I tried looking into Vim / NeoVim a few times to understand what all the hype was about.

I had to install:

* Fugitive * Nerd tree * Airline * YouCompleteMe * Emmet

And I don't remember how many other plugins just to get a halfway decent editor experience. I get using Vim if you're SSHed to a server, but otherwise it feels like intentionally handicapping yourself. In case you find yourself needing keyboard based navigation, I'm pretty sure Command+P is much better than anything Vim could offer for quickly opening files, and there's a Vim plugin for VSCode for moving around in files.

I will probably get heavily downvoted for saying this, I know. But if someone feels like enlightening me instead, please do so.
