OP thinks IDEs are toys. I think Vim is a toy (beyond its functionality as an editor where it is definitely not a toy).
I've been using IntelliJ for at least 10 years now.
If you have used it, you know what I'm talking about.
IDEAVim plugin provides Vim key bindings and Vim editing mode, so it has the best of Vim and an IDE in one application.
Refactoring and navigation in IntelliJ is superior to whatever you can hack together in Vim. You can integrate Vim with a language server but then what's the point? Just use an IDE.
At work we are forced to use a specific IDE. It's a niche programming language not supported by any other software. Vim is not an option.
Some of us have jobs and do this professionally, not as a hobby. That’s why we use an IDE. Vim is a fun toy where you can hack together a poor man’s IDE but I grew out of that phase a long time ago.
In some cases we are forced to use a specific IDE. Not optional.
Steve Jobs did not sound like a caricature of a gay man or a valley girl (no vocal fry, very charismatic speaker) and was never laughed out of the room in negotiations (one of the strongest negotiators the world has ever seen).
Steve Jobs was charismatic. Sam Altman is the opposite of charismatic.
