Not everyone wants an IDE, though. Unix is my IDE, and Vim is just my text editor. I learned emacs first and left it for Vim.

This is fair. For someone that just wants to edit text in an efficient way and doesn't want to tweak/tailor their editor vanilla vim is a good choice.

I'm a huge user of Jetbrains IDEs and I feel like they make me a little dependent. What language do you mostly write in?

Many: in a typical week I might use C, Python, Go, Java, Scala, JavaScript, and shell.
