I'm in the same boat. Local development only, my terminal is still my IDE. Other editing tools I've attempted and jumped back out of:

PyCharm - No good vim emulation for editing

Spacemacs - Soft locks, Ctrl-] doesn't follow the same word boundaries as Meta-. (which matches Vim's implementation)

Sublime Text - Closest fit (enough that I own a personal license), but again, the vim emulation is pretty bad.

Atom - Slow. Even at its fastest, it's noticeably slower than Vim

VSCode - Slow (though faster than Atom), no good vim emulation.

Yes, most of my criticisms form around the lack of good vim emulation - my muscle memory is very well established. I've just yet to find a good, responsive, and comfortable editing scheme from a non-Vim editor.

I'm trying Neovim and it's the only editor I've ever tried that I like as much as Vim. Every other substitute has been inadequate.
