I've used Vim for 20 years. My main issue is that, while I love the text editing part, setting up something aesthetically pleasing with IDE-like features takes a lot of effort -- especially when you're dealing with multiple layers of shell + iTerm2. Some even add tmux on top of that! My setup still doesn't look on par with the amazing setups I see on Youtube. There are too many low-level settings you need to mess around with and it's completely unintuitive.

Felt inspired to look at this again and there is a project called LunarVim which advertises giving you an "IDE" experience out of the box. Looks promising!
