If you're already comfortable with an editor (such as VSCode), don't worry about learning another one unless you inherently enjoy the journey (which it seems that you don't). Instead, invest some time learning features, keyboard shortcuts, and configurations of your current editor.

Also, if you use languages for which an IDE provides significant value - continue using whatever IDE you are using (... if you don't enjoy the vim/shell lifestyle). Vim is not an IDE, though it can eventually be configured to act like one. If you mainly program in C for example, an IDE provides minimal value beyond what a lightly configured Vim would provide.
