You can map most actions in an IDE to a key combination.

And IDEs have integrated terminal panes as well.

Never said it can't be good in an IDE. But there is something that draws people to vim, which isn't just the cool factor. IDEs often even have vim modes but vim itself is a nicer editor.

Same way an IDE is a nicer debugger, linter, profiler, test run platform...
