Borland, Visual Studio, Eclipse, Netbeans, IntelliJ, Xcode - I've use quite a few IDE's. I much prefer a simplistic vim.

You make a great point regarding reconstruction of IDE's piece-wise. Check out all the "10, 15, 20" VS code plugins you MUST HAVE blog posts. I don't see any difference between that and a tricked out Vim setup. I see them as exactly the same things.

So someone leaving a tweaked out vim for a tweaked out VS Code or vice versa isn't the same as someone leaving an all powerful IDE. Those people are pursuing their perfect bespoke dev experience.
