I use Vim (recently switched to Neovim on my work laptop) as my daily driver with a minimum set of plugins. My primary language right now is Go, but used to be C++. It works just fine for my purpose. I have tried using IDEs in the past, most recently vscode when I was trying to learn Rust, I always end up going back to Vim, I find it more a more enjoyable and streamlined experience. For IDEs it's usually a struggle getting everything to work for me, and if there is a new version it just ends up breaking everything. I'm sure it's just a matter of what I'm used to. However I learned JAVA at university and it's the one language I have never managed to come to terms with using vim. At university I used Netbeans and I think that remains my one positive experience with IDEs. I really liked how that worked (or maybe I just hadn't been conditioned that much at that point). Java seems to be designed around the idea that you should user an IDE though. Sooo Verbose, and so many frameworks...
