I've been using this sort of setup for over a decade. I try IDEs from time to time but typically I find it just gets in the way or buries the things I care about among 100 other features I would never use. Additionally, IDEs are often optimized for one platform or language but not others or for general use. With vim I can use one editor to code, write email, write documentation, etc.

With neovim you can have autocompletion, error checking, git integration, project file navigator, and many other IDE like features but without the cruft.

Performance and stability is stellar compared to the IDEs I have experience with (eclipse, visual studio, xcode, and PHP storm). Especially if you use a terminal that uses the GPU to render the screen. With startup times there is no competition, tmux can keep your terminal session alive even after quitting the terminal which means their is essentially zero startup wait.
