I really left IntelliJ (Python and Go) for Vim. I wanted to give Vim a good try anyway. My motivation was how ridiculously heavy IntelliJ is on resources

I was doing Rust in VSCode and liked it but the Python support in VSCode was pretty terrible, and Go was so-so (Refactor/Rename tends to rename about 50% of the occurrences if you're lucky), so I wanted to try to concentrate everything in one editor.

The downside for a language like Python without strong type system is the need to use the debugger super often, and I haven't gotten my command-line debugging chops up yet. The IntelliJ debugging experience is really, really nice.
