The best part is, you don't need to choose between using IDEs and your favorite text editor! Most modern IDEs with proper plugin support can be configured to provide a superset of Vim's functionality. I personally use IdeaVim on the IntelliJ Platform [1] with AceJump [2] and haven't looked back. You can import many of the settings from your .vimrc and it interoperates fairly well with the IDE features. Although I prefer Vim keybindings and it is technically possible to hack together an IDE-like UX with ctags and LSP, the IDE experience is so much better I wouldn't even consider working on a large Java or Kotlin project from the command line.
