I started my programming career determined to be a vim guru and do all my programming with vim.
This was misguided and after a year of wasted productivity and wasted time fiddling with plugs and dealing with broken stuff (surely by my own hand) I switched to a professional IDE and I rapidly became a much better developer.
I use vim constantly now but in it's most plain vanilla form, for the purpose of editing files when logged into Linux systems. That's all I use it for.
I really wish however that every Linux system had a clone of the old DOS edit command which was beautifully simply and straightforward and met most needs highly intuitively.
As a sidenote: can I just say that PyCharm is an incredible IDE and I can recommend it heartily to anyone. If your job is programming then it is many times over worth paying the money for the professional edition.
