How is it that nobody seems to know that every major editor has either vim mode or a vim plugin. I love vim, but I almost never use it directly. I usually use JetBrains IDE with vim plugin. Best of both worlds.
I guess many of us have tried but don’t like the “uncanny valley” where standard Vim thing don’t work.
It’s been a few years since I last tried so hopefully this has improved. I tried the vim plugin for Jetbrains and found it lacked window navigation and support for things like registers that I use a lot in vim.
At the time I was using webstorm (at a client’s insistence) and found that for the weird JS project we were working on Tern.js was actually better at refactoring and navigating anyway so I just went back to using it with Vim.
