IdeaVim works fine. I can't use vim sandwich and that's about my only complaint.

I was firmly resistant to IDEs like OP and quite in love with neovim for years. Tried PyCharm because of work, never looking back.

I could never find just a simple debugger for vim that was easy and intuitive to set up. Always had trouble.

And now, the in-IDE Jupyter Notebooks that allow me to use vim keybindings (albeit with an annoying bug that at least has a workaround https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/VIM-2504) has completely changed the way I work.

Are there occasionally show stopper bugs? Yes. Is it worth it for amazing debugger integration? Absolutely.

IdeaVim is really great. The only reason I prefer Neovim is because I have certain plugins setup that I’m used to.
