An IDE or the equivalent of an IDE implemented as a language server.

Using language servers make me wonder why it took so long to figure this out. Pretty much all IDEs are awful for text editing if you're a Vimmer but superior for the refactorings you're going to need. Programs like Vim are excellent text editors but JetBrains is never going to invest in VimScript.

I am occasionally frustrated that sometimes I am still forced to choose between one or the other because a lot of the servers are still in their infancy. Still waiting for the equivalent of Visual Studio 2019 as a language server that actually works with the projects I have to develop.
